US Military Demands Advanced Weapons to Combat #ArtificialIntelligence Threats!
“US Military’s Demand for Futuristic Super Weapons to Combat Artificial Intelligence Threats!”
# How the Pentagon is Dealing with the Threat of Cheap, Smart Weapons
* The Pentagon is facing a new challenge in dealing with weapons and systems that are dirt cheap but highly effective.
* The conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the effectiveness of inexpensive unmanned systems with autonomy and artificial intelligence in neutralizing conventional warfare tools.
* The U.S. undersecretary of defense for research and engineering has issued a need statement calling on industry to develop new weapons to counter the threat from unmanned, autonomous, and AI defense-driven systems.
* The threat is expanding in all domains, including aerial, ground, subterranean, sea, and undersea.
* The Defense Department is particularly concerned about undersea and subterranean systems, as well as drone swarms.
* The need statement calls for weapons that can disable drone swarms, create barriers or obstacles, use kinetic, directed-energy, and control-link defenses, and provide assessment capabilities.
* The Defense Department has already provided Ukraine with aid packages including gun trucks and laser-guided rocket systems designed to destroy drones.
* However, the Pentagon is still lacking effective counter-unmanned and counter-AI weapons.
* The Pentagon is interested in developing novel sensors, autonomous defensive technologies, and passive defeat capabilities to counter the threat.
* Private sector development and a focus on innovation and creative solutions may be necessary to address the challenge.
* The Pentagon plans to hold a meeting with industry representatives in July to discuss proposed counter-unmanned solutions and ways forward on development.
## Conclusion
The Pentagon is facing a new challenge in dealing with the threat of cheap, smart weapons. The conflict in Ukraine has shown the effectiveness of inexpensive unmanned systems with autonomy and artificial intelligence in neutralizing conventional warfare tools. The Defense Department is urgently calling on industry to develop new weapons to counter this threat. The need statement highlights the importance of developing weapons that can disable drone swarms, create barriers or obstacles, use kinetic, directed-energy, and control-link defenses, and provide assessment capabilities. While the Pentagon has provided aid packages to Ukraine, effective counter-unmanned and counter-AI weapons are still lacking. The Pentagon plans to hold a meeting with industry representatives in July to discuss proposed solutions and ways forward on development.
