Just a quick clarification: the EU hasn't actually banned drones in the vicinity of airports. Rather, they require special approval for operating in these areas. This policy exists because there are scenarios where experimental drones, needing access to the same resources as manned aircraft-such as radio navigation and communication with airport towers-must be tested in these environments.

Imagine being adrift at sea for days/weeks and finally a ship approaches but no one ever comes to the rail and you can't find anyone even after climbing aboard so you just fend for yourself as bet as you can while the ship sails itself towards what you hope/assume is the nearest port or friendly vessel...

The ability to jam remote control signals will force artificial intelligence into the role of deciding immediate navigation, collision avoidance, and which targets to destroy.
I really like the idea of having a sort of medium/small sized mother ship with a small crew watching over a bunch of smaller drone ships. That way if somebody comes to steal your drones you have them all retreat to the mothership or in a time a war the mother ships give the green light and the drones open fire upon the targets. That way you could have a fleet with a ton of fire power like a traditional fleet but a tiny crew. They could also easily rescue and repair the drones when the break down.
@@an2939 yeah, those would probably be thier first choice when launching an attack, but also that central ship will be the most heavily defended because what if each small ship had a cwis and if they are all networked together than its probably gonna be pretty difficult to take out, or atleast it'll cost a lot to destroy a relatively cheap group. The point would be to be invincible but cheap and mass produced.
Just put a plaque on it saying, "This drone is fitted with an anti-tamper device" in several languages, it doesn't have to be an explosive device, a layer of thermite around security sensitive items would probably do the trick.
@@edvin_hook which, let us not forget, means cheap and mass produced. And consequently is almost always less performant than high-end civilian gear, unless it is has a special security requirement of sorts.
@@Dagger920 I remember around a decade or two back when the US army ended up using stock xbox controllers made by Microsoft and bought commercially as a replacement for the purpose built controller they were using (it was some robot used for engineering or bomb disposal or something like that). The purpose built one was apparently crap in comparison. The fact that it was the gamepad that shipped with the system meant that Microsoft had to develop something that they could mass produce in the millions, be decently reliable and be a good general purpose layout, without breaking the bank (the xbox was and still is a loss leader in and of itself, so I have a feeling that stuff like general purpose controllers were reined in). Not the military or a contractor. It was all done. All that they needed to do was wire it into the system (and presumably some time getting the software to work with them). This isn't top shelf/top tier kit. Though nor is it bottom of the barrel either. It is cheap. It is mass produced. It worked. It is already tested and in production. It is actually a nice little microcosm of capitalism. addendum: those flight sticks in particular, again not top of the line for flight sticks (my god that market is insane when you start talking about quality). But you are still talking around $100 or more. addendum 2: never cheap out on joysticks or throttles. The difference in quality between a $70-$100 HOTAS and $150-$250 HOTAS is vast. Yet people who go all in on the flight kit will probably spend $250 on the platform they mount their stick to. Nevermind the actual controllers.
@@HurBenny You know, sometimes that special requirement, requires older and less proficient hardware. In a manner of speaking. My favorite example has always been the DF-224 processor that the Hubble Telescope first launched with (was later replaced). Above all else, it needed to be robust and redundant. Quite apt given its operating environment. But in terms of computation ability and physical size, it was garbage in comparison to the stuff being used on the ground. Hubble finally got a 486 in 1999 (yes, a nice shiny new 486, in 1999, service mission 3a, 2nd spacewalk). It was a 25mhz cpu. It was 20 times faster than the original... do the math and laugh... that original processor had a clock of 1.25mhz.)
Licensed Charter captain here, currently working on my master class, I think one of the reasons the "person on watch" and having a manned vessel is so important, is I don't care what redundancy you have build into that vessel nothing can save it from ocean better than a human, in terms of stopping sinking, you are liable for all of the damages if a vessel sinks. I also think it would become way to disposable as well, think about it oh no our RC boat got crushed 1000M off shore, we better get out there and clean it up.
When China and Iran does it, the MEDIA calls it stealing but when the US does the exact things, the Media call it cease or confiscated. Hypocrisy at the best 😂😂
About the signal jamming issue ? It will never dissapear as long as an operatir needs to press a button to opearte an onboard weapon, which is the US Navy current policy. Without reliable signal communications, a usv won't be able to operate weapons, and will stay stuck at the role of passive defense or acting as a decoy. A sitting duck in a sense
Maritime Collision Regulations are decades out-of date and need to be updated. Fifty years ago when drafted they obviously didn't take into account the eventuality of unmanned AI and remote controlled sea-going drones or crafts. For safety purposes the prerequisite is the vessel must have onboard collision avoidance, gps and auto navigation tech so that it doesn't present a threat to other vessels. This assumes the surface drone's purpose is not hostile like those used by the Iran backed houthi terrorist group. The problem is how do ships determine if a drone is hostile - and what protection does it have from remote hacking etc. And does it have active gps and collision avoidance. Complex issues - complex times.

I strongly disagree with the claim that the technology doesn’t exist for reliable remote communication with drone ships - the US has been flying drones in the AIR for like 3 decades now. The technology and safety exists. Also, there’s two key and very different situations when these USVs would be used: time of war where many peacetime rules are no longer a concern (Look at the Ukrainian attack drones taking out Russian ships) and normal peacetime operations in international waters. If Iran wants to violate the cardinal rule of “Don’t Touch Out Boats!” then they can reap the consequences of a “proportional response” when the US deletes half their navy……again. 🦅 🦅🦅🦅🦅
How about people signed up to UN conventions on freedom of navigation be responsible for freedom of navigation. Local navies looking after local waters according to agreed conventions. US isn't a signatory and should go home. US proportional response is an international war crime.

In general, I am not a fan of naval drones. I say that as a Navy veteran myself. I do understand the large potential they represent and offer to the Navy though. During a time of war, I'd say damn the rules, you do what you got to do to win. But, during times of peace, all naval drones should be manned for safety reasons. If the Navy needs to remove personnel for testing, then they can do it our own waters. All such vessels, while unmanned, should also be closely monitored as well. Again, for safety reasons during times of peace.
I suppose the only casualities in future combat zones will be the unmanned assets and infrastructure. The most obvious other would those poor/not important enough to have a bunker to hide in. Three cheers for technology 🎉

Where I generally support the use of drones anyway, the Overload fleet are particularly great. Like towing a supply barge (regardless of what the "supplies" are), but safer. For now, they still remain relatively close to the flotilla, while not restricting vessel maneuvering. 👍
Iran or China "seizing" a US Navy ship with the "least" amount of trouble possible sounds like somewhere between a drastic understatement and the worst instance of "f*** around and find out" that I can possibly think of.
Iran , that’s what would happen if just once the US would unleash their full military might without rules or lines , then everyone would see , Iran would do just that RUN right into the sea
Doesn't seem there is any loophole. If a vessel is against the maritime law, it is against the maritime law, period. Either Maritime Law changes (not likelly until we have AI, since communications can always go down), or people reach the obvious conclusion that yes, unmanned ships can be a hazardous. First time a Iranian or Chinese unmanned ship gets close to the US, tell me US won't take it because it is not safe ... no it is not a loophole, it is NOT safe.
How many times manned pln vessels clash with ph coast guard vessels going to supply their people on their own territory as confirmed by international courts
They have precedent for operating USVs completely unmanned. furgro is operating USVs inspecting oil rigs and sup sea structures using Sea-kit built boats they are controlled from a office in Aberdeen UK. the vessels are flagged by the UK MCA and have a constant lookout with a chief mate and a captain manning the cameras and equipment remotely so they are COLREG compliant
This is inaccurate. Any vessel in neutral waters is free to operate within international law without any military interference. Any such hostility towards these vessels is an act of war. There are laws that supersede the laws that you are citing in this video.
The push for including unmanned naval vessels won't come from the navies, but rather shipping. The aviation regulations for drone operations came from airlines, airports and drone operators to avoid them being hassled and harassed by local law enforcement agencies.
There are already ships like that being used. I think it was Norway that actually sent a cargo ship like that between two ports. It's only time before it becomes normal for commercial shipping and colregs is forced to change.
That's why i don't expect drone vessels to stay unarmed for very long. At some point the navy is going to put self defense weaponry on these ships like Phalanx CIWS and or a deck gun. The only issue would be modifying the Phalanx to increase it's magazine size or give it an auto reloader that can feed it more ammo from a main magazine inside the ship every time it runs out. Because as it sits right now the Phalanx doesn't have enough ammo capacity to repel more than a small boarding party or drone swarm etc.
Last year there was a lot of unknown drones in action around oil fields in the european parts of the northsea . Nobody knows where this drones cames from !
Legal loophole my behind! All you need to do is pass a Law in your own country, allowingvyou to seize those ships, just like the USA. Then just seize tgem legally. It js just a matter of guts. If it us "legal" for USA, then it is "legal" for other countries. You do not need loopholes!
they should use it to build more logistics ships with one main ship so you can have one ship with weapons and one with fuel so the ships can be smaller and be multiple targets instead of just one big one thats easier to hit. thoughts
We are literally engineering our own extinction.. most militaries around the world are integrating all their systems, so jets can talk to command structures, tanks, assets on the ground, satellites, war ships, drones etc.. every system is able to communicate with each other.. just the helmet the F35 pilots wear has more sensors and processing power than almost every 4 gen aircraft as a whole .. due to how much raw data that’s coming from forward deployed assets like jets, tanks, soldiers, artillery positions, warship positions and armaments etc., we can just have humans sitting through all this data, so in comes Artificial Intelligence to process all the raw data coming in, into a coherent picture that can be presented to command structures so they’re able to make informed decisions about what’s happening on a second by second basis, but pretty soon even the top command structures will be replaced with an artificial intelligence system that can process all the data it collects from multiple sources and will just go ahead and make the decisions itself, because it’s already calculated every single outcome and what their percentage of success will be .. In my life time, pilots will become obsolete, warship captains will become obsolete, tank crews, drone operators, hell, even our nuclear response capabilities will be controlled by artificial intelligence.. it’ll be able to calculate what the enemy response will be, how long it takes for travel time of ICBMS, what will happen and how many people will die if nukes land in certain areas.. it’ll have ALL the information that we give it from sensors in cell phones, satellites, personal vehicles, as well as information from other systems the AI is able to hack and breech.. If we let this cat out of the bag, we are FUCKED
"Continuous lookout" doesn't necessarily require a person if the drone is truly autonomous with it's own AI and sensor array with redundancies to ensure 24x7 continuous operations. So, the notion that they require a human presence, or a continuous remote human monitor, will eventually just be an archaic notion relegated to history... that day is coming. Also, packing them with an explosive charge to self-destruct if boarded or an attempted towing would prevent they from being seized, and teach those doing so to NOT try either. Such a self-destruct mechanism could be made as tamper-proof as possible with a code needed to be received to deactivate it by US personnel.
I am inclined to think that AI could answer a lot of the legal issues in the not too distant future. AI will also allow USVs to operate completely autonomously once their mission was made known to them.
There is a US loophole that allows them to shoot holes in Iranian ships.

Again, for safety reasons during times of peace.
I suppose the only casualities in future combat zones will be the unmanned assets and infrastructure. The most obvious other would those poor/not important enough to have a bunker to hide in. Three cheers for technology 🎉

Where I generally support the use of drones anyway, the Overload fleet are particularly great. Like towing a supply barge (regardless of what the "supplies" are), but safer. For now, they still remain relatively close to the flotilla, while not restricting vessel maneuvering. 👍

Iran or China "seizing" a US Navy ship with the "least" amount of trouble possible sounds like somewhere between a drastic understatement and the worst instance of "f*** around and find out" that I can possibly think of.
I thought, these unmanned ships would be considered *derelict,* but treating them as *navigational hazard* is probably more reasonable.
It will self destruct just in time after achieving proximity. Consequences?
“Go ahead. Take it from me.”

Iran , that’s what would happen if just once the US would unleash their full military might without rules or lines , then everyone would see , Iran would do just that RUN right into the sea
Iran has a right to defend itself
Doesn't seem there is any loophole. If a vessel is against the maritime law, it is against the maritime law, period. Either Maritime Law changes (not likelly until we have AI, since communications can always go down), or people reach the obvious conclusion that yes, unmanned ships can be a hazardous. First time a Iranian or Chinese unmanned ship gets close to the US, tell me US won't take it because it is not safe ... no it is not a loophole, it is NOT safe.
So would you say that what @rctestflight is doing is illegal
Anytime I think of “unmanned boat vessels” I can’t help but think of the Robot Navy Ship from Fallout 4 lmao
So your telling me I can go ahead and "borrow" usa drones and there will be no consequences?! Noice
@sandboxx We gonna see a SeaPower on this at sometime?
How many times manned pln vessels clash with ph coast guard vessels going to supply their people on their own territory as confirmed by international courts
They have precedent for operating USVs completely unmanned. furgro is operating USVs inspecting oil rigs and sup sea structures using Sea-kit built boats they are controlled from a office in Aberdeen UK. the vessels are flagged by the UK MCA and have a constant lookout with a chief mate and a captain manning the cameras and equipment remotely so they are COLREG compliant
I wonder if they have a self destruct feature
They certainly could/should be so equipped.
This is inaccurate. Any vessel in neutral waters is free to operate within international law without any military interference. Any such hostility towards these vessels is an act of war. There are laws that supersede the laws that you are citing in this video.
The push for including unmanned naval vessels won't come from the navies, but rather shipping. The aviation regulations for drone operations came from airlines, airports and drone operators to avoid them being hassled and harassed by local law enforcement agencies.
Interesting.
There are already ships like that being used. I think it was Norway that actually sent a cargo ship like that between two ports. It's only time before it becomes normal for commercial shipping and colregs is forced to change.
That's why i don't expect drone vessels to stay unarmed for very long. At some point the navy is going to put self defense weaponry on these ships like Phalanx CIWS and or a deck gun. The only issue would be modifying the Phalanx to increase it's magazine size or give it an auto reloader that can feed it more ammo from a main magazine inside the ship every time it runs out. Because as it sits right now the Phalanx doesn't have enough ammo capacity to repel more than a small boarding party or drone swarm etc.
Yyaahh it's Purdy and oui say is okie mon eih.... And still no pay in my account or on any of my cards mon eih....
Last year there was a lot of unknown drones in action around oil fields in the european parts of the northsea . Nobody knows where this drones cames from !
A captain should not have to get permission from a president to sink enemy threats.
Legal loophole my behind! All you need to do is pass a Law in your own country, allowingvyou to seize those ships, just like the USA. Then just seize tgem legally. It js just a matter of guts. If it us "legal" for USA, then it is "legal" for other countries. You do not need loopholes!
I think we should consider the autonomous defense system loopholes.
they should use it to build more logistics ships with one main ship so you can have one ship with weapons and one with fuel so the ships can be smaller and be multiple targets instead of just one big one thats easier to hit. thoughts
We are literally engineering our own extinction.. most militaries around the world are integrating all their systems, so jets can talk to command structures, tanks, assets on the ground, satellites, war ships, drones etc.. every system is able to communicate with each other.. just the helmet the F35 pilots wear has more sensors and processing power than almost every 4 gen aircraft as a whole ..
due to how much raw data that’s coming from forward deployed assets like jets, tanks, soldiers, artillery positions, warship positions and armaments etc., we can just have humans sitting through all this data, so in comes Artificial Intelligence to process all the raw data coming in, into a coherent picture that can be presented to command structures so they’re able to make informed decisions about what’s happening on a second by second basis, but pretty soon even the top command structures will be replaced with an artificial intelligence system that can process all the data it collects from multiple sources and will just go ahead and make the decisions itself, because it’s already calculated every single outcome and what their percentage of success will be ..
In my life time, pilots will become obsolete, warship captains will become obsolete, tank crews, drone operators, hell, even our nuclear response capabilities will be controlled by artificial intelligence.. it’ll be able to calculate what the enemy response will be, how long it takes for travel time of ICBMS, what will happen and how many people will die if nukes land in certain areas.. it’ll have ALL the information that we give it from sensors in cell phones, satellites, personal vehicles, as well as information from other systems the AI is able to hack and breech..
If we let this cat out of the bag, we are FUCKED
Japanese kamikaze aircrafts were also planes on auto-pilot.
"Continuous lookout" doesn't necessarily require a person if the drone is truly autonomous with it's own AI and sensor array with redundancies to ensure 24x7 continuous operations. So, the notion that they require a human presence, or a continuous remote human monitor, will eventually just be an archaic notion relegated to history... that day is coming.
Also, packing them with an explosive charge to self-destruct if boarded or an attempted towing would prevent they from being seized, and teach those doing so to NOT try either. Such a self-destruct mechanism could be made as tamper-proof as possible with a code needed to be received to deactivate it by US personnel.
I’m sorry America I won’t do it again !!! 😂
The drone sumbarine was "in international waters" of course it was😂😂
Some Japanese would tell them: 'Don't touch their boats!'

We said Arabian Sea. That is different from Persian Gulf. Two separate things.
So sooner or later ships will only have humans on them just to sign paperworks
If it got taken, they can self-destruct the boat
I am inclined to think that AI could answer a lot of the legal issues in the not too distant future. AI will also allow USVs to operate completely autonomously once their mission was made known to them.
The loop whole allows the U.S. Navy to take IRAN Navy ships too
Iran outsources it's Navy to Yemen terrorists. Cowards.
How many times will the media justify US medeliing using the word Brasingly
If you question if something is legal, it is not a red line politically for your moral compass.
It’s ironic that Iran and China are worried about shipping vessels when both of them terrorize them
Dude if any captain of the U.S. Navy allows their ship to be captured then they should be ashamed
Okay so why not just have *mostly* automated ships that minimize the disadvantages of both and enhance their advantages?
