The Unmanned Systems and Artificial Intelligence Revolution


Book Description

This book completes my unmanned systems trilogy and provides an update on the capabilities and threat potential of Unmanned Systems since my previous two books, entitled Unmanned Systems: Savior or Threat and The Importance and Vulnerabilities of U.S. Critical Infrastructure to Unmanned Systems and Cyber. The U.S. Congress and military services claim humans will control artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced autonomous weapon systems, yet they are severely mistaken. The age of autonomous warfare has already arrived, and its incorporation of AI has begun. Our strategic competitors know that AI will digest volumes of information and make decisions far faster than human beings. They have already been unleashed without a human in the loop to authorize engagements against human beings. Our world is embroiled in a technological revolution with unmanned systems and the meteoric rise of more responsive and innovative AI algorithms. These two entities are not in their infancy, for they have emerged and grown immensely in capability, potential, and threat. There is a fierce, modern-day race among countries to conduct research and development to get improved unmanned systems and AI out to military forces, governments, companies, and the general populace. By combining armed and autonomous unmanned systems with AI, we are leap-frogging humanity past science fiction movies towards real-world militarized, AI-enhanced, autonomous unmanned systems and, quite possibly, Skynet.




Drones as Cyber-Physical Systems


Book Description

This book introduces the concept of using drones as a teaching tool to explore the fundamental principles, technology and applications of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A short introduction sets CPS in the context of the 4th industrial revolution, and describes various CPS technologies including self-driving cars, commercial intelligent drones and mobile robots, in which artificial intelligence routinely supports smarter decision-making. The core of the book then focuses on commercially available drones, the only available system offering the advantage of cyber-physical bridging through 3D autonomous dynamic flying in classroom conditions. Chapters describe drone technology, including location sensors and imaging systems. CPS theory is explained through typical drone flying procedures and do-it-yourself (DIY) aerial photography in which communication between sensors, actuators and controllers occurs through cyber-physical bi-directional bridging. This book opens new possibilities in fostering 4th industrial revolution literacy, introducing relevant examples from readily available equipment, making core elements of cyber-physical bridging accessible. It is aimed primarily at those students who have an interest in CPS, drones and those from disciplines that are concerned with spatial information.




The Drone Wars


Book Description

In the battle for the streets of Mosul in Iraq, drones in the hands of ISIS terrorists made life hell for the Iraq army and civilians. Today, defense companies are racing to develop the lasers, microwave weapons, and technology necessary for confronting the next drone threat. Seth J. Frantzman takes the reader from the midnight exercises with Israel’s elite drone warriors, to the CIA headquarters where new drone technology was once adopted in the 1990s to hunt Osama bin Laden. This rapidly expanding technology could be used to target nuclear power plants and pose a threat to civilian airports. In the Middle East, the US used a drone to kill Iranian arch-terrorist Qasem Soleimani, a key Iranian commander. Drones are transforming the battlefield from Syria to Libya and Yemen. For militaries and security agencies—the main users of expensive drones—the UAV market is expanding as well; there were more than 20,000 military drones in use by 2020. Once the province of only a few militaries, drones now being built in Turkey, China, Russia, and smaller countries like Taiwan may be joining the military drone market. It’s big business, too—$100 billion will be spent over the next decade on drones. Militaries may soon be spending more on drones than tanks, much as navies transitioned away from giant vulnerable battleships to more agile ships. The future wars will be fought with drones and won by whoever has the most sophisticated technology.
