The March 2020 attack was in Libya and perpetrated by a Kargu-2 quadcopter drone produced by Turkish military tech company STM “during a conflict between Libyan government forces and a breakaway military faction led by Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army,” the Star reports, adding: “The Kargu-2 is fitted with an explosive charge and the drone can be directed at a target in a kamikaze attack, detonating on impact.”
The drones were operating in a “highly effective” autonomous mode that required no human controller and the report notes:
“The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true ‘fire, forget and find’ capability” – suggesting the drones attacked on their own.

BS, the data had been entered.
That was my thought, too. Some one programmed it and probably monitored it.
Consider for whom this lie was fabricated.
But, but, the Three Laws!
also in was programmed to run with a dead comms link.
What could go wrong?
If they do not exist now, they will exist soon.
MICRO DRONES KILLER ARMS ROBOTS - AUTONOMOUS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - WARNING !!

A hypothetical....
Gun looks mean, but how well does it handle recoil?
Fighting autonomous drones comes down to a funding issue. Funding is directed towards massive expensive programs because that’s where the profit is. No one in the US arms industry wants to be on either side (offense or defense) of tiny offensive drones because small munitions, and the historic small purchases during peacetime. mean a huge investment but no payback. So, both industry and the military pursue large projects and ignore projects that promise much less cost regardless of how important or necessary they are. In the end, on the military side an officer wants to lead projects that are high profile and expensive. Companies (and therefore lobbyists) only want huge devices that cost enormous amounts; profit being a percentage of costs.
This will continue until the US gets its a$$ wiped by some tiny country that only has toy factories. Then, after lots of deaths, the government will start a HUGE program to develop offensive and defensive munitions. But the project must include a plant in every important district and lots and lots of sub-component suppliers spread across congressional districts. Because, that’s how this works.
Why don’t we have thousands of these protecting and enforcing our southern border with shoot to kill program orders?
Not really. The kid relies on technologies that are very fragile and easily defeated. Then the kid is dead.
Do a YouTube search for “Drone Swarms”. We already have tactics being tested.
They acted according to the program that was controlling them. They acted on authority of the humans who programmed them. They do nothing “on their own” and everything according to the program.
As most programmers know, the program always does what you told it to do, but not always what you wanted it to do.
Sweet. Should one like it attached to every Army and Marine infantry platoon.
Great post.
