Innovations and greatest autonomous combat limits
Abstract
Purpose: there is a comprehensive analysis of innovations and prospects for the development of autonomous combat aircraft, including the study of scientific research, patent data and practical examples of the implementation of ABL, which will allow to determine the main trends and priority directions of the development of military aviation, as well as to outline the key challenges and opportunities related to using autonomous systems in combat conditions.
Method: qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Research results: The study identifies key technological areas in the development of autonomous combat aircraft, including advances in artificial intelligence, advanced materials, autonomous control systems and ethical considerations. Innovations in materials science, such as thermoplastic elastomers and ceramic composites, are highlighted for their role in increasing durability and reducing aircraft weight. Autonomous AI-based control systems are known for their real-time decision-making capabilities, data processing, and adaptability to changing conditions. Analysis of patent data reveals promising technologies, including artificial intelligence-based systems and new materials, that are critical to future developments.
The theoretical value of the research: The research contributes to the theoretical understanding of the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and new materials in military aviation. While it does not explicitly reject or change existing theories, it builds on current knowledge in the field, providing a comprehensive analysis of the state and future prospects of autonomous combat aircraft.
The value of the research: Exploring the integration of AI into military strategies and tactics, particularly in the context of evolving warfare dynamics, such as the transition to positional warfare and warfare of attrition. Analysis of the potential impact of AI technologies between manned and unmanned aerial platforms in military aviation.
Future research: Improving the decision-making capabilities of AI systems for autonomous combat aircraft, including real-time adaptation. Increasing the reliability and safety of autonomous systems based on artificial intelligence, solving cyber security problems and system failures. Exploring the integration of advanced machine learning algorithms for tasks such as target recognition, mission planning, and autonomous navigation.
