Can artificial intelligence someday replace human, is a question, what always repeating in discussions about computer technology. We cannot give the straight answer to that question because we have no information, what kind of situation is under the observation. The military forces around the world are interested in this ultimate tool for combat- and combat support role. Also, computers are the ultimate tool for security solutions, because those systems will ever sleep or get tired.


Artificial intelligence is an ultimate tool in many actions, where is needed absolute concentration, and what is continuing very long period. The thing what makes the computer the ultimate tool for that situation is that they ever get tired. Computer ever gets boring and turns the eye or camera away from the object, what it should monitor. The computer doesn't feel anything, and that's why any person can say anything they want to the computer, and it doesn't stop service, even somebody says bad things for it.


Also, the computer can handle very much information in the very short period, and it can notice any artifact, what might be important. If there is a suspected bomb in some subway- or shopping center, the computer notices that. The system is looking for unattended packages and nervous persons, who are not going into the trains, and reports their actions to the security staff. Also, it notices fights and other problems, and it is made because sometimes the guard might sleep in the working place.


That system is built for support security personnel in their work, and it will wake up person, who might sleep on the chair. The use of artificial intelligence as the weapon systems is one of the most disastrous but same ways the cheap way to increase the power of the weapon systems. Computers can also work in the cockpit of the assault airplanes, and in real life drones and manned aircraft can work together in same flight group, and the drones don't afraid anything, and they don't release their weapons too early.


They will accomplish their mission without feelings, and if the target will not be destroyed by the bombs, they can make "kamikaze-strike". And when the missile will have the same shape than the normal fighter, it might give the deadly surprise for enemy forces. The drones never tired for their missions, and they can patrol at skies even days if they have airborne refueling capacity.


Same systems what are created to notice unattended packages in the subway station can use to locate the armed personnel in the mountains of Afghanistan. And if the drone has permission, it can shoot those targets automatically, what will be execution. Same systems, what is used in the "Predator"-robots works also with bigger machines like QF/A-18 and QA-10 drones, what are the drone versions of F/A-18- and A-10 "Thunderbolt"-aircraft. The artificial intelligence is actually a computer program, what can download to any vehicle in the world.


Modern electronic battlefield is like a network, where nobody works alone. The system links all information, what it can get to combat control team, and the information is collected also the chemical sensors, what tells the system if there will be the chemical strike against the troops. Also, the commanders can control the battlefield that the tactical strikes will target to enemy radars and missiles, and the strategic cruise missiles will fly thru that hole. The automatic combat aircraft might be used to locate the cruise missiles and shoot them down, but also the artificial intelligence can make those weapons more deadly than they ever been before.


Modern cruise missiles have got ECM (Electronic Counter Measure) -system, what gives it the ability to penetrate the enemy airspace more easy than ever before. The modern computer technology gives the cruise missile capacity for changing the course and speed all the time during the operation, and the airborne refueling capacity allows to shoot them from long distance.


When the cruise missiles come near operation area, they will be refueled by other drones, and then those missiles will start to change course and speed. Also, the artificial intelligence can give the cruise missile ability to fly the way, it can avoid the enemy radar detection. Also, cheap electronic parts make possible, that the normal cruise missile might have the AMRAAM-style air combat missiles inside the bay, what is installed inside their body. And those submissives will be extremely dangerous if the fighter pilot doesn't know about their existence.

The SR-72 project the fastest air using aircraft in the world

Lockheed-Martin Corporation has created the new concept for ultrafast aircraft what will succeed the SR-71 "Blackbird". The SR-71 was the fastest aircraft and it bases the technology, what was created in 1960's. The body of the aircraft was made of the titanium, and it has capable of flight Mach 3,2 to Mach 3,5. The maximum speed depends on the calibration and wealth of the jet engines, what were under very high pressure and temperature. And those extremely powerful jet engines were corrosion very fast, and if the motor was not thin, the maximum speed was decreased the little bit. But when the SR-71 program was canceled in 1998 there were not succeeded of that marvelous plane. And the rumors started to grow.


There was mentioned some airplanes what had code-named "Aurora" and there is actually no knowledge what does that world mean. In some discussions that were mentioned to mean the ramjet or scramjet motors or some other exotic propulsion systems like PDWS (Pulse Detonation Wave Systems". The PDWS is actually same kind of flap engine, what is used in German V-1 (Fi-103) flying bomb, In that engine has flap system, what allows the pressure of the fuel rise high, and then the ignition lightning will be given to the fuel and oxygen combination.


When the flaps what are in the front of the engine are open, the motor will suck the air, and then the frontal flaps will be closed, and the flaps of the exhaust tubes will be opened, and same time the ignition spark will be given to the motor, and then the exhaust gas would be given the speed of the vehicle. This system allowed the launch of the V-1 bombs from the ramps without the rocket. The frontal flaps were closed, and then the fuel was injected into the combustion chamber, and then the fuel was sparked. The flap ramjet works in the same way, and only the shape of the motor is changed as the ramjet or scramjet motor.

(Picture 2)

When the speed of the airplane will rise high enough, both flaps can be stayed open, and then them motor works like normal ramjet motor. The flap systems allow to use ramjets in the low speed, and another way is, of course, use normal jet motors to accelerate the speed of the airplane and start the normal ramjets after the speed was increased high enough, that the ramjets can begin to operate, and normally that speed is about 900 kilometres per hour. The SR-72 is not like normal recon plane.


It would have the capacity for Mach-6, and it can fly any point of the earth in one hour. The Business Insider magazine will give the information, that SR-72 has not mentioned using only in the reconnaissance missions. That plane could use the smart bombs like Precision guide Nuclear Weapons, GBU-32 or Maverick and Hellfire missiles in its missions. Also, it can deliver MAV:s to the operational area. The plane would be unmanned and it might use the same kind of computer systems than "Predator-UCAV's" uses, and there might have the same kind of missions than those official UCAV's have.


But the SR-72 has more capacity to make the strikes than slower "Predators". In some scenarios, those "Super Predators" can be used against all targets what the conventional airplanes can be used. There might be many sizes of those very fast aircraft, and they can be carry also MAV:s (Miniature Aerial Vehicles) in the operational zone. So they can use also as the assassination missions what have targeted well-known terrorists and other criminals. Those super fast SR-72 aircraft can conduct the USAF global strike capacity, what will now get the change to take the control of the hostage situations.

Pentagon is starting to use artificial intelligence to hunt the terrorists

The artificial intelligence is very capable of for hunting the terrorists in the cities. This kind of systems can network a different kind of sensors like surveillance cameras, drone pictures, and the social media pictures together. In those systems are used the technology, what is created to uncover the dangerous people in the railway stations. If some people talk to the mobile telephone, the system can send the drone to see that place, and sometimes the person will stand alone in some hill, and the drone can get the good image from that person's face. The voice records can use to compile the captured voice with some telephone calls what are captured from the telemarketers and another kind of telephone discussions.

Those systems bases the image recognition system, what will notice if some person might match with the picture of the terrorist. The warm jackets or vest in the shiny summer day will wake up the system operators, the unattended packages with nervous and angry behavior will alert the security persons. Also if some persons will start acting abnormal way will give the signal of the possible terrorist. One of the best things to get to the list of the terrorists is to buy the AK-47 assault rifle and make a couple of selfies with it.


And of course, the AK-47 can easily connect to the radical political movements with tattoos or T-skirts, where are the signs of some terrorist organizations, and if there are some posters of the terrorist organizations on the wall, will the police come to visit in that persons home. Also, telling lies about some things like asks of the trip to the Middle East will bring the person to the list of terrorists. If the person claims ever visiting the Middle East, but there was the evidence of airplane tickets to Tunis, that will make security personnel suspicious with this thing.


One of the signs is that the person, who uses lots of credit card, will suddenly make big shopping by using the cash or starts to use a different kind of clothes, what the suspect have used before. Also, changes in the shopping behavior and sudden need for particular medicines will mean that the person is planning something, what is the very bad thing for another people. In this category of terrorists are also other mass murdered people, who are motivation is not political or religious.


Also, the writings what support terrorism or another criminal activity will bring the person on the list of the potential terrorists. The threating other people and implying of violent actions against other people will sometimes put the person on the list of terrorist. Terrorism is a crime, where will become five or more victims. And many terror organizations will get their financial support by selling drugs. And also some organizations sell the strikes like political murders to Mafia, to get the first aid equipment.


The artificial intelligence can recognize people's faces bt infra-red cameras, and if some well-known terrorist will see in the scope of Predator, the target will be eliminated immediately. Those computer programs can recognize also weapons, and the person with assault rifles will authorize the strike against the target.


The UCAV can be equipped with "auto-fire"-mode, what allows it to open fire against any hostile target, and this is the thing, what frightens some people. If the "Killer drone" will see the target, and it is in the database, where is the "hit list", the target will be eliminated, and those drones don't care who they will shoot, what makes them very dangerous. If somebody will put some personal enemy's picture to that system,  that misuse of the system will cause the horrible situation, when combat drone executes the innocent person.
