(С) Uzer DE/VooDoo People ----------------------------------------- Как стало известно, уже50 years in progress Pentagon program called "Strate- tag computer initiative"(SKI), which pursues the goal of creating a computer ters of the new generation, who have certain shared human qualities: health deep meaning and special knowledge, skill unable to hear, see and speak. "We're up to- we are confronted with the appearance of machines that in many in these relationships will be able to compete with people mi,” said Robert Ku- back in 1989 Per, Director Administration of Prospective planning research activities bot (UPPNIR) of the US Department of Defense. The department is developing several projects tov for the armed forces, trying to teach computers, like people, compare seemingly unrelated data, draw conclusions and solve problems. UPPNIR was founded in 1983 as part of American "response" to the launch of the first satellites and partly an addition to the program SDI (strategic defense initiatives you),is responsible for long-term scientific US Department of Defense programs. It not only deal with fundamental military-oriented research new application, but also creates, using received data, new combattechnique. Since 1983, when it began to be implemented
designed for 10 years SKI program, happened significant redistribution division of funds in the budget UPPNIR. Share intended- valued for research in field of computer technology- nicknames, increased from 10% to 20/30%. For five years on these purposes were spent 600 million dollars, and in the near future amount costs within the SKI dos- tagnet$1 billion. Each clan is armed - strong forces their demands but all wishes come down to to one thing: we need cars, capable of acting with high degree of auto- missions that can self- "think" carefully. The first steps have already been taken -
us! One of them is the
autonomous su- hopper mobile vehicle (ASPS). The car seemed to have come straight out of a science fiction movie. ical films: eight wheels, high building without windows with a video camera on the roof. The purpose of this mobile laboratory is to use to try ways of autonomous computer- ground control. For orientation ASPS uses several vi- sound chambers, sound wave emitters and la- grains through which the collected data will be combined into a clear picture of what's ahead. The device must be able to distinguish some shadows from real objects. He's already then he knew how to get around obstacles the size offor example, from a haystack, but only at a speed grow no higher than 10 km/h. When is the speed was higher, the computer just couldn’t keep up make a decision. Therefore, more more high-speed computers with parallel data processing. In general, the assessment is not only obstacles, but also all kinds of roses and targets while moving speed acceptable in combat conditions height, required much more powerful computers Yuters. Another important consideration is ro- here should howl be able to recognize enemy. "In Vietnam, our soldiers it was difficult to distinguish South Koreans from northern," said Robert Rosenfield, Program Manager at UPPNIR. Even if people find it difficult, you can imagine what it's like to achieve this from robots. Many problems had to be solved when organizing communication with ASPS. Regular radio channels are good for oral negotiations, but a great variety of video and digital sig- cash and other data necessary for transmitting commands to the robot require such frequency ranges in which there are quite just create artificial interference. Of course, signals can also be noise-resistant whelped. But they can only be transferred to optical visibility zone. Any higher item or item caught between reception nickname and the transmitter, the connection will be interrupted. Poe- options are being considered in SKIis- use of fiber optic cables for controlling robots, as well as wireless lot aircraft as relay- ditch The eight-wheeled ASPS was far from the only national robot created at that time for military purposes. Work was underway on "Rhine- Jerome",which "saw" the azimuth and followed over unfamiliar rough terrain, about walking obstacles. Test sample was equipped with a whole set of sensors, including tea camera, laser locator, re- giving a three-dimensional image to the computer terrain, and an infrared radiation receiver technology that allows you to move in the dark. Since for image analysis, semi- expected from the sensor, billions are required operations per second, response ro- work in those years was still slow, and he moved at walking speed - no more 5 km/h. With further modernization, the robot will be able to perform tasks or join fight like a machine gun. Naval forces already then they created robots NT-3 for work with heavy loads andROBART-1 (having dictionary of 400 words),who noticed heat, recognized toxic substances. Can't hide from his keen eye and technology enemy ka penetrating the line front. Moreover, he himself got to gas station locations for recharging batteries By the way, the widely advertised experi- route to the place of death of the famous"Titanium- ka",which was carried out in 1986, pursued the main hidden from society goal - testing a military underwater ro- bot"Jason Jr." UPPNIR financed the work of Ogaisky university to create ASPS with six supports instead of wheels for moving around rough terrain. The car had you cell 2.1 m, length 4.4 m and weight 23OOkr. Similar self-propelled robots of various appointments were developed by 40 different firms. However, let's return to the eight-wheeled mu ASPS. His movement was controlled by a computer Yuter, who determined the extent braking distance, cornering speed and other kinematic parameters. When de- used in monster trials only one video camera, so ro- The bot perceived the world as “flat”. However, with using certain selection methodsvoluminous information developed in the Me- University of Ireland, ASPS recognized roadside, moving at speed Zkm/hour and stopping every 6 meters to give the computer the opportunity think. For continuous movement with speed, say, 20 km/h, production The on-board computer activity should was to be two orders of magnitude higher. When testing ASPS on rough terrain the terrain needed to be installed how many video cameras, as well as five-band nal laser locator, which allowed assess the nature of obstacles by measurements of absorption and reflection of radiation tions in five sections of the spectrum... From what was said earlier, it is clear that the computer ters already played a key role in all developments of combat robots. Therefore commissioned by UPPNIR at Carnegie University Mellon create a highly productive WARP computer designed for ASPS. It is suggested to install a new one computer on a specially made car car. He had to travel around streets with a speed of no more than 55 km/h. The developers believed: although the computer will not be able to completely replace the driver, say, when estimating the crossing time streets with young and old pedestrians, - it will cope better with tasks such as selecting the shortest path on the map. Well, well company "General Electric" UPPNIR ordered a set of machine programs that allows the ASPS to distinguish between terrain details, vehicles, combat equipment tires, etc., comparing what you saw with this column images stored in the pa- crumple the computer.

So what about psychological compatibility? If you have a car, you don't have to worry. Sis- theme developed by "Energy Optics Inc", is a combination of the two above- bathroom developments.

If necessary, the pilot artificial intelligence takes over control airplane control. For military forces, UPPNIR creates computer thorny "strategist" who, analyzing information from Earth satellites and others data will help commanders take legal wise decisions during a naval battle with involving dozens of surface ships and submarines. Battle management system must be able to assess the degree reliability of data, determine the degree probability of events, as well as development develop an action strategy and scenario based on renewing a previously received answer. "Country tag", which will be embodied in several options of expert systems, will be available in firstturn at the disposal of the commander- th Pacific Fleet and its headquarters.
So, the Pentagon is- barks to have military robots. "Cars do not get tired. They are not closed- eyes are not straight- huddle under the tree- yami when it goes rain, don't talk with friends and not smoking in secret", - said the major Kenneth Rose from the Officeбоевой подго- товки аме риканской армии.

But there are problems related to security performance of computers. Let us cite the high- testimony of a famous American scientist go, Professor David Parnas: "...create computers for military purposes are not possible without checking them for a long time, i.e. without ve- developments of space war. And this is already self- murder. Computers will need to clearly work the first time, which we cannot- we can achieve even in everyday life, at least, for example, at telephone exchanges yah. It takes months, or even years, of operation. atations to be sure of the reliability "Tee". Here it is - the problem of reliability! newspaper "The Washington Post" posted a cartoon: on background of terrible destruction after nuclear explosion - the computer stands and issues printer text: "There is nothing perfect in the world crazy!" For such dark humor there is bases: it is known that inNovember 1979 year and in June 1980, computers of the national The US Defense Department reported that the country is under attack. That time nothing happened - American combat missiles did not managed to start. But is it possible to calculate rely on the fact that the world will be lucky and from now on? Very eloquent and suggestive sad thoughts example with the frigate"Stark", which during the "tanker massacre" was hit by a missile in the Persian Gulf. Co- the rabble was stuffed with anti-missile technology Whoops, but she didn’t go wrong! Involuntarily, you start thinking about the UPPNIR project. B Nowadays, very powerful computers have appeared ters that facilitate the creation of combat robots. Or maybe they already exist in one fine day... The question arises: is it possible for machines declare war on people and doom all humankind quality? But there is an answer: If we let it im. Of course they won't declare war unless we set them up for it in advance! And now decide for yourself: "Terminator - total just a movie or the real future?!"
