(Sydney Reuters) The acceleration of military reserve competitions in the United States and China has entered the field of artificial intelligence (AI).Now, the two countries are developing robotics and weapons, and they will compete in the new battlefield in the future.
Analysis pointed out that in the Sino -US high -tech competition, who can stand out in the fields of artificial intelligence and independent weapons.Technology and military experts say that if China wins, it will be in a favorable position to reshape global political and economic order.
Reuters reports that both China and the United States are scrambling to deploy unmanned machines and use artificial intelligence to operate submarines, warships, fighters, drones and ground chariots.This is like developing Killer Robots to fight side by side with human decision makers.They combat combat with the conventional sea, land and air forces, can greatly enhance the firepower and change the combat method.For example, the unmanned submarine "Ghost Sharks" driven by artificial intelligence can sneak into the deep sea of thousands of meters, which cannot be done by general conventional weapons.
In the special report, Reuters interviewed more than 20 former US and Australian officers and security officials, and also collected information from channels such as artificial intelligence research papers, Chinese military publication publications, and national defense equipment exhibitions.
AI systems can provide information to military commanders to determine how to fight
Analysis said that artificial intelligence systems can even provide information to military commanders by absorbing and analyzing a large amount of data collected from satellites, radars, vocal networks, signal information, and online traffic collection, and help them decide how to fight.
At present, China, the United States, and allies have formulated plans to form an invisible drone fleet, which can fly with aircraft formations driving.UAVs can take off attack targets, interfere with communication or fly forward, and their radar and sensors can provide warning or pre -discovery targets.
Anduril, an US defense company established in 2017, is quickly combining human beings and intelligent machines.Audalier hired more than 1,800 employees in the United States, Britain and Australia.Its subsidiary is building a "ghost shark" submarine for the Australian Navy.
Australian Navy in -depth research on two advanced submarine technology
The Australian Navy is conducting two different in -depth research on advanced submarine technology.In addition to building 13 nuclear power attack submarines as planned, it is also planned to build an unmanned submarine "Ghost Shark".Nuclear -powered submarines need tens of billions of dollars, and the last submarine will not be delivered until the middle of this century.In contrast, the size of unmanned submarine hull is small, each cost is slightly higher than $ 23 million (about S $ 23 million), and it can be delivered in mid -2025.
Navy experts believe that autonomous submarines like "Ghost Shark" are equipped with torpedo, missiles and mines, which can lurk near the enemy's coast, or wait for a strategic waterway or blocking point to perform specific tasks.
Analysis, the huge gap between the cost of nuclear -powered submarines and unmanned submarines and the speed of delivery, shows that automation will completely change weapons, war, and military forces, and shape the competition for military reserve in China and the United States.
Arnot, senior vice president of the Audalier Engineering Department, said that unmanned submarines are easier to build, and its design, manufacturing and performance will fundamentally change the operation of conventional submarines.
Arnot also said that the company plans to quickly produce such submarines and revealed that Audalier also plans to build submarines such as the United States and allies, including the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Europe.
