Iran threatens: Our ‘specially designed’ suicide aircraft can strike Tel Aviv and Haifa

Iran has developed a new long-range drone aircraft capable of striking Israeli cities, a senior Iranian military official claimed Monday.

Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari, chief of the Iranian military’s ground forces, was quoted in a report by the semi-official Iranian news outlet Mehr News Monday morning that a new drone aircraft, the Arash-2 – an upgrade of the Arash-1 – was designed to increase its range, allowing it to strike Israeli cities.

“We have specially designed this drone for Haifa and Tel Aviv. This is a unique drone that was developed for this task,” the general said, vowing Iran “will unveil this drone’s capabilities in future exercises.”

The new suicide drone, Heidari said, has unique capabilities, without offering details.

Less than two months ago, the Iranian navy unveiled its new drone carrier division, featuring offensive and surveillance aerial drones launched from seven vessels.

General Abdolrahim Mousavi claimed the division will extend Iran’s “long arm” by hundreds of kilometers.

Iran has made extensive use of military drones in recent years, opening a drone manufacturing plant in the central Asian country of Tajikistan.

In February, the U.S. Air Force shot down two Iranian drone aircraft flying in Iraqi airspace en route to Israel.

The unmanned aerial vehicles, Shahed 136s, were en route to Israel on Feb. 14 when they were downed near the Iraqi city of Erbil. The Shahed 136 is a “kamikaze” drone with an estimated range of 2,000 km (1,242 miles) that self-destructs upon hitting its target. The drone is capable of loitering over targets before striking.

That same month, Iran reportedly suffered the loss of hundreds of drones in an airbase in the western part of the country in an aerial strike by UAVs that it blamed on Israel. Jerusalem did not comment on the alleged attack, which Lebanese TV station Al Mayadeen said was launched from Kurdish-controlled territory in Iraq.

MICRO DRONES KILLER ARMS ROBOTS - AUTONOMOUS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Killer drone arms, acritical intelligence an increasingly real fiction, Social and Smart Phone Facial Recognition, Smart swarms, Warning !

It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. Cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, such as deep learning and convolution neural networks, into hardware systems that governments and peace-keeping agencies can use to keep their troops safe. No more sending our brave patriots home in coffins. Now the artificial intelligence does all of the work. These autonomous weapons are small, fast, accurate, and unstoppable.

And they are just the beginning. Smart swarms. Adaptive adversarial learning. On-the-field robust target prioritization. AI-powered tactics and strategy a Go master would envy. This is the future of peacekeeping.

About the technology

Autonomous anti-Personnel Systems (APS) can employ an array of cutting edge AI technology, including:

Obstacle avoidance: the neural network copied into every APS can be been trained through the equivalent of millions of hours in varied simulated environments to avoid obstacles, even when they are in motion.

Stochastic movements: trained on thousands of movies of mosquitoes and other flying insects, our drones will defeat any attempt to anticipate their flight patterns.

Efficient munitions: using precise targeting, the can be able to drive the size of a projectile and propellant to a bare minimum.

Facial recognition: it’s in your iPhone and it’s in APS, along with parallel networks to identify targets by gait, gender, uniform, even ethnicity.

Multiple self-location protocols: along with GPS, our APSs use a variety of proprietary technologies to locate themselves in space.

Big data links: can be acquired and consolidated a host of data sets. Using servers you can reliably tie individuals to their individual characteristics for later targeting. 

Autonomous with wide-field cameras, tactical sensors, facial recognition, processors that can react 100 times faster than a human, and its stochastic motion is an anti-sniper feature. Inside it are three grams of shaped explosives that offer just enough power to penetrate the skull and kill the target with surgical precision.

All About Teamwork

Delivery and Breaching System

The delivery system arrives at a building or some other enclosed space (car, train, plane, you name it), releases its cargo, attaches to the barrier, and blows a hole in the wall or window. The kilter drones can then enter the building and find their targets. These systems are virtually unstoppable. Target terrorist cells, infiltrate enemy compounds -- the bad guys will not be able to defend against them.

Identify and Target Only the Bad Guys

The Target Identification System

All systems can use facial recognition to identify a predetermined target, but what about threatening underground movements or secret terrorists cells? It's not like there are public hashtags that terrorists use to identify themselves. The Target Identification System isn't just the little bot, but an entire big-data processing system that can scan billions of tweets, posts, pages, videos, and anything else you can find online to identify patterns indicative of terrorist activity. The system then crawls that data to identify IP addresses and GPS locations to identify the suspect posting the dangerous messages. It can also track down who the suspect is collaborating with..


But these little bots are about the size of a bee, they can fly anywhere, get inside any building, hide inside any vent, and strike while the target sleeps. The question literally becomes: what's your poison? The bots can be filled with a lethal dose of the poison of your choice, and the mark left on the body will be barely noticeable, looking like nothing more than a bug bite.

US military’s successful test of micro-drone swarm launched from fighter jets

The U.S. military has tested a large swarm of micro-drones and most people didn’t even realize it.

A video released by the Department of Defense shows the Perdix micro-UAV swarm being dropped from fighter jets in a test at China Lake, Calif. on Oct. 26, 2016.

Three F/A-18 Super Hornets were deployed to launch the swarm of 103 micro-drones.

The drones, which have a wingspan of 12 inches, operate autonomously and share a distributed brain. They use artificial intelligence to carry out formations and collective decision-making for surveillance purposes.

“Perdix are not pre-programmed synchronized individuals, they are a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature,” said William Roper, director of the Strategic Capabilities Office, in a DoD statement. “Because every Perdix communicates and collaborates with every other Perdix, the swarm has no leader and can gracefully adapt to drones entering or exiting the team.”

The drones were first designed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but were modified for military testing by the scientists and engineers of MIT Lincoln Laboratory starting in 2013.

The video shows one of the first examples of the Pentagon’s use of teams comprised of “small, inexpensive, autonomous systems to perform missions once achieved only by large, expensive ones,” the DoD added.

Roper said the micro-drones will always be accompanied by humans, but will enable them to make quicker and improved decisions.

Then-Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, who created SCO in 2012 said of the 2016 test, “I congratulate the Strategic Capabilities Office for this successful demonstration. This is the kind of cutting-edge innovation that will keep us a step ahead of our adversaries. This demonstration will advance our development of autonomous systems.”

Upon countdown, the drones are released but they are barely visible, and they transition right into place. The map shows where they headed, right on target, to disperse and execute their first mission — then their second, third and fourth missions.

Perdix is now in its sixth generation and can endure possible deployment conditions such as Mach speeds, subzero temperatures, and the shock of ejecting from the fighter jets’ flare dispensers.

Perdix was inspired by the consumer cellphone industry with repetitive design updates to produce innovative generations in batches as large as 1,000.
