Daily Mail: US Army is working on AI-guided missiles that 'pick their OWN targets' to blow up after scanning ground below
* Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munition system will use GPS to identify targets
* The weapons will have a range of up to 60 kilometres while scanning and objects
* Will replace the Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) artillery
The U.S. government is spending millions of dollars on creating intelligent missiles - which will determine for targets for themselves.
The Cannon-Delivered Area Effects Munition (C-DAEM) system will use GPS to identify enemy tanks and armoured shells, which will be scanned in advance from the skies.
According to sources, the Pentagon will invest vast sums into the AI-guided munitions, which could be ready by 2021.
They will replace the Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) artillery rounds, which were introduced in the 1980s.

WNU Editor: These AI-guided missiles will have the ability to "pick their own targets". All that I can say is that I hope the software that is used will be hack-proof.

Funny. I remember a time - long long ago - when we still debated if AI should be banned from the battle field. See how no one stopped it?
That debate was less than a few years ago. It went nowhere. Well. .it's still going on but no one is listening. Well ..people are listening but nothing will stop it.
The AI battlefield applications are endless. And the advantages are numerous. And money can be made.
I give humanity maybe 20 more years.
Until then
What's actually really sad is that no one even believes it can be stopped. It's like war. None of us want it, right? Yet, it will happen.
If money can be made, and you can get away with doing it, then it will happen. No matter what you or I want. It will happen
Most soldiers would rather train, be ready, collect the check, and not go to war.
It is like highschool. If you workout and are buff, you do not get into fights, because most people would see that they cannot win or it would not be worth it even if they could win.
If you read about medieval warfare and about commanders purposefully not attacking an invading army, you learn that armies are useful when not used. If you give battle and lose then the invading army has carte blanche. If you shadow them they fell constrained and at the end of the season pick up and leave. that worked on many occasions.
Having an army constrains would be aggressors and so you get paid even while not using it.
The NAZIs made a reconnaissance of Switzerland before WW2. They concluded that the Swiss were prepared and would fight back. They also concluded although they would win that it would not be worth the effort.
The Swiss were not invaded. Was their military expenditures worth the effort?
"Operation Tannenbaum ("Fir Tree"), known earlier as Operation Grün ("Green"),] was a planned but cancelled invasion of Switzerland by Germany and Italy during World War II."

The wiki article does not give any information on German reconnaissance. But at least one officer was sent as a civilian to reconnoiter. He noted pillboxes and other strong points, left and wrote a report.
If you are all butter and no guns, people with guns walk in, walk over you, and take all the butter.
You need to balance guns and butter. Some people do not know how to do it. They do know how to buy votes with butter, however.
