Only need one camera drone capable of identifying targets. And just tells another drone to bomb it.

Cameras are incredibly cheap though. There's basically no reason not to put them on everything.

Or can “paint it” with an infrared laser point and then the drone can use simple sensors to guide itself to the target.

“Don’t attack this plane that already has a hole in it”

The startup attempting this would need Actual Indians for the first few special ops attempts before getting the true AI experience.

..in theory. In practice, building such a complex system in a fail safe way is not that easy.

"in a fail safe way" goes out the window in wartime.

[4gotunameagain]

I meant safe for the mission, not for any innocent souls around..

[RenThraysk]

Still only need one camera drone if a human is spotting targets.

[4gotunameagain]

In theory. In practice you would not allow a single camera drone to be the single point of failure of a mission with such lengthy and risky planning, and dire consequences.

They had a limited amount of drones in those containers they needed to make them count. My money is on operators.

[RenThraysk]

Still only need one flying drone to identify all targets. There maybe more camera drones available to pilot, but still only need one flying to spot.

A static target only needs to be seen once.

[dmkolobov]

I understand that you’re probably just gonna reply with “still only need one camera”

…but if GPS is jammed, and there’s only one camera per fleet, how exactly are the other drones supposed to navigate towards the spotted targets unless they’re all equipped with cameras?

[RenThraysk]

One camera drone can see if another drone is on target.
