AI Capable US Anti-Ship Missile Spooks Russia, Lavrov Vows To Retaliate -- IBTimes
The United States is spooking Russia yet again with its Long Range Anti-Ship Missile or LRASM. The latest weapon from U.S. is built with artificial intelligence -- capable of sending messages to multiple missiles of its kind in what could be describe as a spider-web communication system.
The built in AI makes several missiles capable of independently strategising an offense against its enemy. The missile can also send threat signals and coordinates to other war ships and aircrafts within the battlefield. It can traverse waters at high-subsonic speeds, independently correcting its path along the way.
LRASM can hit a target at roughly hundred-mile distance. It could extend its range to 1,000 miles, delivering the enemy a 1000 lb payload. It is "a new anti-ship missile unlike any weapon system ever seen before," as described by Kyle Maxey of Engineering.com.
