Israel's Autonomous Urban Quadcopter Nqa 'Nrhiav & Tawm Tsam Hauv Ib Tug'

Trapped los ntawm cov yeeb ncuab hluav taws los ntawm tag nrho cov lus qhia nyob rau hauv nroog kev sib ntaus sib tua, ib tug infantry unit hu rau Lanius - thiab ib tug swarm ntawm drones tshwm, nkag mus rau hauv lub tsev nyob ib puag ncig nrhiav thiab tshem tawm cov yeeb ncuab firing txoj hauj lwm. Qhov no yog qhov scenario Israeli neeg cog lus Elbit Systems siv los piav qhia lub zog ntawm lawv cov drones swarming tshiab hauv video tshiab.

Lub hli tas los peb tau nthuav tawm cov ntsiab lus Elbit's Legion-X system, lub hauv paus software ntse uas tso cai rau ntau hom tsheb hauv av thiab drones ua haujlwm ua ke hauv kev sib raug zoo nrog cov tub rog ko taw. Thaum lub sij hawm lub tuam txhab teased lub hav zoov ntawm ib tug multicopter 'niam txiv' muaj peev xwm tso ob peb quadcopters me me, thiab cov ntsiab lus tau qhia nyob rau hauv cov yeeb yaj duab tshiab.

Lanius tau piav qhia tias yog 'drone-based loitering munition' thiab nqa cov neeg tuag lossis tsis tuag. Thaum peb twb pom lawm thawj tus neeg pom kev sib tw drones nqa cov khoom tawg mus tua cov hom phiaj hauv cov tsev hauv Ukraine, qhov txawv ntawm Lanius yog qhov ntse npaum li cas. Cov drones siv cov txheej txheem ntawm ib txhij qhov chaw thiab daim ntawv qhia (SLAM) uas lawv tsim ib daim ntawv qhia 3D ntawm lawv ib puag ncig thaum lawv dhau mus, muab cov ncauj lus kom ntxaws ntawm lub tsev lossis hauv av. Qhov no yog enabled los ntawm ib tug NVDIA Jetson TX2 processor, ib feem ntawm lub cim tshiab ntawm supercomputer-on-a-module hardware optimized rau mobile artificial txawj ntse.

Qhov kev muaj peev xwm no txhais tau tias ntau lub Lanius drones tuaj yeem xa mus yam tsis tau coj cov neeg ua haujlwm tawm ntawm kev sib ntaus los tswj lawv. Cov drones taug kev thiab nrhiav lawv txoj kev ywj pheej, tsim ib daim ntawv qhia thaum lawv mus.

Raws li cov neeg tsim khoom, tsis yog tsuas yog Lanius tuaj yeem pom cov ntsiab lus nkag thiab tawm xws li qhov rais thiab qhov rooj siv cov kev tshuaj ntsuam video nws tuaj yeem txheeb xyuas cov neeg ua haujlwm sib ntaus sib tua thiab cov neeg ua haujlwm tsis sib ntaus sib tua ntawm cov neeg nyob, thiab muaj peev xwm ntawm 'kev hem thawj rau kev faib tawm' nrog rau kev txheeb xyuas lwm yam nta. ntawm kev txaus siab xws li riam phom. (Qhov tseeb, qhov no ua rau muaj lus nug ntau txog qhov nws ntseeg tau li cas). Lub drone xav tau kev pom zoo los ntawm tus neeg teb xov tooj ua ntej detonating nws cov nyiaj them poob haujlwm, pom ob peb zaug hauv video raws li lub pob ntsuab loj; cov neeg tsim khoom tau mob siab rau nco ntsoov tias qhov no yog tus neeg teb xov tooj-hauv-the-loop riam phom es tsis yog kev tswj hwm tus kheej 'killer robot.' Ib qho kev hloov kho mus rau tag nrho autonomous hom yuav tsuas yog ib qho kev hloov software me me tab sis.

Lanius yog raws li kev sib tw qauv, vim tias cov no muab siab tshaj plaws agility thiab maneuverability nyob rau hauv nruj sab hauv qhov chaw. Nws muaj qhov ceev tshaj plaws ntawm 45 mph. Qhov kev txwv loj, yog, raws li qhov xav tau, lub sijhawm ya davhlau, uas tau muab li xya feeb. Qhov no yog vim li cas cov foob pob tawg tau raug coj los ua los ntawm qhov loj dua 'niam txiv', Tsis muaj cov ntsiab lus qhia txog qhov no, tab sis txiav txim siab los ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab nws zoo ib yam li loj coj mus muag qauv (los yog Ukraine R18 foob pob) uas feem ntau muaj ib tug load ntawm ob peb kilos thiab lub davhlau lub sij hawm ntawm 45 feeb los yog ntau tshaj.

Cov niam tsev hauv daim vis dis aus zoo nkaus li nqa peb rab phom Lanius loitering. Cov no hnyav 1.5 kilos txhua, thiab nqa ib tug load ntawm 150 grams los yog ib ncig ntawm tsib ooj. Qhov no tsawg dua Vog-17 grenade dav siv rau drone-bombing los ntawm Ukraine, tab sis lub Lanius zoo li tau npaj rau kev siv ntau ze. Cov duab ntawm lub drone kuj qhia tau hais tias lub taub hau ntawm lub taub hau tuaj yeem yog qhov taw qhia zoo, ua tau zoo me me claymore kuv.

Lanius kuj pom tau tias tau pib los ntawm tes; riam phom hnyav tuaj yeem ua tiav qhov kev tawm tsam ncaj qha los ntawm ntau pua metres deb, thiab tseem tuaj yeem tswj tau ncaj qha xws li cov phom loj li qub, yog qhov tsim nyog rau qhov hnyav rau feem ntau cov tub rog.

Daim vis dis aus qhia Lanius siv 'hom ambush': nws tuaj yeem tsaws hauv av pem hauv ntej ntawm lub qhov rooj kaw lossis lwm qhov chaw nres tsheb, txuag roj teeb thaum tos lub hom phiaj tshwm sim. Yog tias cov yeeb ncuab thaiv lawv tus kheej hauv ib lub tsev, lawv yuav pom cov foob pob tawg tseem tos lawv thaum lawv tawm.

Raws li nrog rau tag nrho ntawm Legion-X suite, qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm Lanius yog qhov muaj nyob ntawm no thiab tam sim no, thiab tej zaum yuav tau siv nrog Israeli rog. IDF yeej ib txwm yog tus thawj coj hauv kev siv tshuab drone, thiab yog thawj zaug siv drones swarming hauv kev nqis tes ua. Lawv kuj yuav yog thawj tus siv hom kev tawm tsam quadcopter.

Lanius tau cog lus tias 'Nrhiav thiab tawm tsam hauv ib qho.' Kom meej meej nws muaj kev txwv, thiab drones tsis yog los hloov infantry. Tab sis nyob rau hauv cov nqe lus ntawm kev nrhiav, txheeb xyuas thiab koom nrog ib tug yeeb ncuab tom qab npog hauv nroog struts, Lanius zoo li ib kauj ruam loj rau pem hauv ntej. Zoo li yog ib kauj ruam rau hnub uas tib neeg cov tub rog yog tag nrho nyob rau hauv kab thib ob tom qab ib phab ntsa los yog armed robots ntawm cov duab sib txawv thiab ntau thiab tsawg.
