Robotic cannon turns killer

Nine soldiers dead and 11 injured by "friendly fire"

By Nick Farrell: Friday, 19 October 2007, 7:38 AM

A SOFTWARE glitch in a robotic cannon resulted in the death of nine soldiers and injuries to 11 others.

South African National Defence Force brigadier general Kwena Mangope says the cause of the malfunction is still unknown.

According to The Star the fully loaded Oerlikon GDF-005 jammed before there was an explosion. It then opened fire uncontrollably, killing and injuring the soldiers.

The anti-aircraft weapon is designed to use passive and active radar, as well as laser target designators range finders, to lock on to "high-speed, low-flying aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles. "

The gun's onboard computer feeds targeting data from the fire control unit a pair of 35mm guns, and reloads on its own when it has emptied its magazine.

The Star said that a female artillery officer risked her life in a desperate bid to save members of her battery from the gun.

But she could not stop the swinging gun as it sprayed hundreds of high-explosive 0,5kg 35mm cannon shells around the five-gun firing position.

All the soldiers could do was wait for the gun to empty its twin 250-round auto-loader magazines and pick up the pieces.

das is das ding:




und wennst fleissig jane´s defence weekly liest, werdn da die dinger scho aufgfallen sein, die jetzt grad fleissig produziert werden (zuerst unter dem aspekt des soldatenretters, jetzt schon offiziell unter killbot)



selbstschussanlage ist schon relativ advanced, aber:

quote:

---

Unlike other armed robots -- which are entirely remote-controlled -- the Warriors are "being engineered with advanced software, giving them the ability to perform some battlefield functions autonomously."

davon sind schon 3 im irak:

und wenn ma glaubt, das kommt nur in den feldeinsatz:


Foster-Miller, maker of the armed SWORDS robot for military use, is also actively promoting a similar model to domestic, civilian police forces. The Talon SWAT/MP is a "robot specifically equipped for scenarios
frequently encountered by police SWAT [special weapon and tactics] units and MPs [military police]," a company fact sheet announces. It "can be configured with the following equipment:

• Multi-shot TASER electronic control device with laser-dot aiming.
• Loudspeaker and audio receiver for negotiations.
• Night vision and thermal cameras.
• Choice of weapons for lethal or less-than-lethal responses
- 40 mm grenade launcher - 2 rounds
- 12-gage shotgun - 5 rounds
- FN303 less-lethal launcher - 15 rounds.


und wenn i amal von am roboter gestellt und angschossen werd, beam ich mich zrück nach 1982, srsly

das erinnert mich an die Geschichte, das einer der ersten Roboter seinen Erfinder umgebracht hatte, weil er dem Roboter keinen notaus knopf eingebaut hatte.
