[@forfun6273]

I wonder if they can do machine learning with these things. I listened to a podcast where a guy who worked for google was talking about those mechanical arms and how they used machine learning to teach it or help it teach itself how to pick up items. Like you set up a bunch of these ciws and fire artillery shells, cheap mock missiles and such not directly at them but near by and you let the machine learn the best way to hit the shit with the least rounds fired and eventually it’ll get to the point where it scans it determines the weapon system, speed and all then just fires one shot and takes it out. I really think these things are going to become one of the better defenses for ships. Especially cause now you can launch a missile at an aircraft carrier. And once it starts to be intercepted you have it drop a small remote controlled Drone and have a pilot fly it into the launching mechanism for aircraft or the control tower and be able to hamper a multi billion dollar aircraft carrier with a small missile and a $200 drone with a shape charge attached. But yeah I guess if they have good enough radar and laser weapons then they’ll be ok.
