The amount of autonomy and decision complexity matters a lot. Autonomously making its way into a known area, recognizing the target and self-correcting to it is basically how every modern cruise missile works.
- netsharc 1y agoAnd now we know making an ersatz cruise missile in the garage is possible...
- AnimalMuppet 1y agoTrue, though (so far) range, velocity, and payload are far smaller than what we expect for a "cruise missile".
- falcor84 1y agoWell, this week proves that range and velocity limitation can be overcome if you ship them near to their destination in small boxes ahead of time. This wasn't really an option with cruise missiles.
