They're not showing integrated sensor coverage, fire at targets, or anything like that. <br /><br />Is the whole thing more practical than training up people to swarm around in boats to the cues of an integrated sensor/waypoint system? No idea. China would just stick people in boats and be done with it.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-43277760324741585342014-10-09T16:05:57.022-04:002014-10-09T16:05:57.022-04:00Intelligent control of land drones in a dense envi...Intelligent control of land drones in a dense environment would be much harder than in a flat and open sea. The thing that interests me is that it seems to be a tacit vaidation of the a-symmetrical swarm boat concept Iran is championing. Maybe it's seen as a counter to that? I'm not sure how well they would do against a crewed counterpart but so long as they can achieve a reasonable kill ratio it seems like a good plan. The Millennium Challenge wargames were a complete disaster so it does make sense.Koronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250234754318025124noreply@blogger.com
