..in theory. In practice, building such a complex system in a fail safe way is not that easy.
- RenThraysk 1y agoStill only need one camera drone if a human is spotting targets.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoIn theory. In practice you would not allow a single camera drone to be the single point of failure of a mission with such lengthy and risky planning, and dire consequences.
- Yeul 1y agoThey had a limited amount of drones in those containers they needed to make them count. My money is on operators.
- RenThraysk 1y agoStill only need one flying drone to identify all targets. There maybe more camera drones available to pilot, but still only need one flying to spot. A static target only needs to be seen once.
- dmkolobov 1y agoI understand that you’re probably just gonna reply with “still only need one camera” …but if GPS is jammed, and there’s only one camera per fleet, how exactly are the other drones supposed to navigate towards the spotted targets unless they’re all equipped with cameras?
- RenThraysk 1y agoOne camera drone can see if another drone is on target.
- dmkolobov 1y agoSo the old “use a single unreliable 2D instrument to coordinate multiple fast-moving projectiles in three dimensional space” approach.
- RenThraysk 1y agoYou are just continuing to spout nonsense. Camera drone hovers above target and kamakazi drone intersects the line between camera and target, and drops.
- dmkolobov 1y agoSo now the camera is pointed at the target? How is it checking that the other drones are headed in the right direction? And the personnel on the ground? They're just chillin' waiting for those other drones to come intersect with the stationary spotter drone's line of sight?
- RenThraysk 1y agoYou are raging, and your thinking has ceased. We've had two years of footage of drones being flown over tanks, and bombs dropped directly down into them.
- dmkolobov 1y agoNo one is arguing the merits of drone warfare. We have two years of footage from Ukraine, where camera-equipped drones are launched from a several miles away at most, and where there are networks of pilots and support specialists to assemble and launch more drones in case of (frequent) failure. I don’t think it’s wise to wager the success of a 6-month mission deep in enemy territory on a plan with a single point of failure, especially when the alternative is equipping each drone with < $100 cameras. But sure, you’re clearly the better thinker.
- gosub100 1y ago"in a fail safe way" goes out the window in wartime.
- 4gotunameagain 1y agoI meant safe for the mission, not for any innocent souls around..
