Swarms of Drones to be used to Overwhelm the 'enemy'

[Bob]

What came first, the Audi commercial where drones covering the sky were attacking, preventing people from safely going outside?

Or this new military plan - create swarms of drones so that attacking a single drone will be useless.

It's been demonstrated 'synchronous movement' in mini-drones, choreographed movements, weaving drones in and out from each other with no collision..

Military and Aerospace news is reporting this today:

“This level of autonomous swarming flight has never been done before,” says Lee Mastroianni, the LOCUST program manager at ONR.

“UAVs that are expendable and reconfigurable will free manned aircraft and traditional weapon systems to do more, and essentially multiply combat power at decreased risk to the warfighter.”

ONR officials note that while the LOCUST autonomy is cutting edge compared to remote-controlled UAVs, there will always be a human monitoring the mission, able to step in and take control as necessary.

ONR announced the LOCUST demonstrations this week at the Navy League Sea-Air-Space conference and trade show in National Harbor, Md.

The LOCUST swarms are designed to be AUTONOMOUS hunter-killers. (see the above video)..



Here is the AUDI car commercial with the autonomous drone attack? Prophetic, cute, scarey, or ??

Scientific American last year in October (2014) had an interesting article:

here (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/drones-learn-to-swarm-video/)

where the authors, Mary Catherine O'Connor and Climate Confidential, explained why SWARMS are efficient.


Since the dawn of entomology (more or less), scientists have been pondering the question posed so eloquently in "High Hopes," a song Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn wrote for the 1959 movie "A Hole in the Head," starring Frank Sinatra: Just what makes that little old ant think he'll move that rubber tree plant?

Stephen Pratt, an associate professor at Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences, knows the answer as well as anyone. He runs Pratt Lab, where researchers study how insect societies source food, build nests, and generally get along.

The very short answer, he said, is that ants use collective, decentralized intelligence to perform complex tasks.

It helps that they also lack an instinct for self-preservation and are focused only on actions that advance the group's missions.


This video shows micro-drones performing in synchronism:

The scientists behind developing 'swarming' programming relies on studying insect swarms.

"Michel Maharbiz, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California at Berkeley is studying beetles’ flight. He turns beetles into little cyborgs by saddling them with tiny "backpacks" that contain a microcontroller, battery, and radio, with minute leads inserted into the beetle's brain and into power muscles used for flight. This apparatus allows Maharbiz to try biasing a beetle's flight by stimulating certain muscles and studying its response.

"It's very difficult to back out what an insect is doing in flight without having it in flight," Maharbiz explained. "In the past people have studied larger animals, or they've tied insects lightly to a tether [to collect data], but they're not really in free flight and that ends up masking [some functions]."

Hi bob scary stuff I saw this article yesterday and was wondering
where to post it or start a thread. It looks like it is designed for
use in the middle east for the 'war on terror' by the looks of the
graphics of them attacking a typical desert village. Or in time
to give to Israel if the neo -cons get their way. Though it could
be used anywhere.

The usual 'crazyness'........." Alliances shifting like the desert sands " !!

Israel-Saudi Arabia feel a bit betrayed as US-Iran pair move forward

The Saudi-led bombing is opposed by Iran, which is accused of backing the Yemeni
rebels. The US, meanwhile, is helping the Saudi campaign - while also seeking to
strike a compromise with Tehran over its nuclear program. Gayane Chichakyan
reports on a complex tangle of interests in the region.

The US Navy is Preparing To Launch Swarm Bots Out of Cannons

‘The U.S. Navy will launch up to 30 synchronized drones within one minute,
possibly from a single cannon-like device, in what marks a significant advance
in robot autonomy. The drones, when airborne, will then unfold their wings
and conduct a series of maneuvers and simulated missions with very little
human guidance over the course of 90 minutes.

Navy officials announced on Tuesday that they intend to stage a key demonstration
of the swarm bots from what the Navy is calling a “tube-based launcher,” essentially,
a big cannon, next year.’

The $1.4 Billion Ebola Scam

Remember last year's panic about ebola? USAID spent $1.4 billion constructing
treatment centers in Africa but nine out of the 11 centers did not treat a single
patient. The locals using hygienic products and traditional methods solved the
crisis before the US top-down approach. But plenty of contractors did very well
in this boondoggle!

A report entitled "Robotics on the Battlefield Part 11: The Coming Swarm", by Paul Scharre, a fellow and director of the 20YY Warfare Initiative at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS ~ the new PNAC?!).

And so it comes.

By the way, thanks to AUDI for making the larger public aware of what is coming, with a scy fi like approach, innocently.

[Maia Gabrial]

The drones should be used for target practice. Everyone, get out your shotguns and have fun! Blow as many of them out of the skies as you can! Problem solved.

When these inventive technologies become mainstream it really is going to change the current perception of life.

I get a sense that a big wave of technology will hit the general populous in relatively quick succession and it will really have the people spinning.
