>>64205329I had been wondering how long it takes for that kind of stuff to start appearing. AI control takes care of the biggest problem non-manned subs have with remote control.
>>64205432Based on what I can read about it, the eventual goal is to have subs that can go on autonomous missions for more than a week at a time.
>>64205432life support is also pretty noisy, these things will be dead silent
Now we just need to execute pajeets and georgians who drag anchors to cut undersea cables - these drones will take care of russian submarines which will mysteriously disappear due to "accidents".
>>64205432>>64205456Remember, "Always Indian".
>>64205456The way they conceptualize it, it's supposed to basically act as the eyes and ears of the actual subs primarily, so they don't have to march around the entire baltic and can focus on what's important
>>64205575yeah autonomous drones don't exist they're just little indians controlling everythinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFLzO_5UFwE
>>64205575Weren't the Chinks also caught pulling this shit?
>go to your seafront cabin in the Finnish west coast>go to sauna, drink some beers and go for a swim>a roaming unmanned sub happens to be camped next to the beach>AI hallucinates and identifies you as a hostile frogman>get torped
