U.S. Army Awards Pocket-Sized Drones $20.6 Million Contract

https://interestingengineering.com/us-army-awards-pocket-sized-drones-206-million-contract

FLIR System's drone weighs 33 grams and the U.S. army is buying it in bulk.

Nano drones have become a major military tool over the past few years, and the most recent announcement of FLIR Systems being awarded an additional $20.6 million contract for their Black Hornet 3 Personal Reconnaissance Systems (PRS) by the U.S. Army is one big example of that.

While the contract is huge, the FLIR Systems Black Hornet 3 is only the size of a cellphone. This extremely light and nearly silent drone can fly up to 25 minutes, and provide many military advantages in combat.

Support is Growing for an International Ban on ‘Killer Robots’

Retaining “meaningful human control” over autonomous weapons systems is an ethical imperative and a moral obligation, according to Human Rights Watch.

Governments around the world are increasingly recognising the threat of autonomous weapons systems and ‘killer robots’, according to a new report.

The report, published by Human Rights Watch, suggests a growing number of countries would support plans to impose a ban on autonomous weapons and prevent further development of such systems.

The Scene: A Stress Headache That Most Pirates Can Do Without

Many up-and-coming pirates dream of one day being elite enough to become a member of The Scene, hoping to bathe in the collective mystery, kudos and notoriety it exudes. But for most, however, the headaches and stress would probably outweigh the benefits of this exclusive 'club'.

Over the past two weeks ‘The Scene’, the individuals, groups, and entities that are often described as sitting at the top of the so-called ‘Piracy Pyramid’, has been thrust into the mainstream media.

A US Government-led operation, carried out on several continents against the ‘Sparks Conspiracy‘, listed three individuals from the UK, US and Norway as the main targets of a massive investigation. What took place on the ground, however, ended up being something much, much bigger.

While SPARKS and related groups GECKOS, DRONES, ROVERS and SPLINTERS were placed front and center, operations like this don’t and can’t operate in a vacuum. These groups were part of an organic network built up over years and, as such, their activities and members touched huge numbers of disparate yet interconnected individuals involved in the piracy world overall, not just ‘The Scene’ itself.

One of the interesting things about The Scene is that over almost two decades, it has gained almost mythical status as an almost impossible-to-penetrate ‘place’ where only the most elite of pirates hang out. As a result, many people aspire to become a ‘member’ one day, hoping to bathe in the collective mystery, kudos and notoriety.

What the unfolding events of the past two weeks have shown, however, is that The Scene is already much closer to regular pirates than most people might think, touching and even intermingling at some level with private and public torrent sites, streaming platforms, and similar services.

‘Machines set loose to slaughter’: the dangerous rise of military AI

Autonomous machines capable of deadly force are increasingly prevalent in modern warfare, despite numerous ethical concerns. Is there anything we can do to halt the advance of the killer robots?

The video is stark. Two menacing men stand next to a white van in a field, holding remote controls. They open the van’s back doors, and the whining sound of quadcopter drones crescendos. They flip a switch, and the drones swarm out like bats from a cave. In a few seconds, we cut to a college classroom. The killer robots flood in through windows and vents. The students scream in terror, trapped inside, as the drones attack with deadly force. The lesson that the film, Slaughterbots, is trying to impart is clear: tiny killer robots are either here or a small technological advance away. Terrorists could easily deploy them. And existing defences are weak or nonexistent.

Some military experts argued that Slaughterbots – which was made by the Future of Life Institute, an organisation researching existential threats to humanity – sensationalised a serious problem, stoking fear where calm reflection was required. But when it comes to the future of war, the line between science fiction and industrial fact is often blurry. The US air force has predicted a future in which “Swat teams will send mechanical insects equipped with video cameras to creep inside a building during a hostage standoff”. One “microsystems collaborative” has already released Octoroach, an “extremely small robot with a camera and radio transmitter that can cover up to 100 metres on the ground”. It is only one of many “biomimetic”, or nature-imitating, weapons that are on the horizon.

Who knows how many other noxious creatures are now models for avant garde military theorists. A recent novel by PW Singer and August Cole, set in a near future in which the US is at war with China and Russia, presented a kaleidoscopic vision of autonomous drones, lasers and hijacked satellites. The book cannot be written off as a techno-military fantasy: it includes hundreds of footnotes documenting the development of each piece of hardware and software it describes.

⚡️NYPD Using Drones to Broadcast Weather Alerts
@takebackourtech

After weeks of extreme rainfall in New York City, the NYPD began testing "remote-piloted public messaging capabilities" in the Queens borough.

These drones will broadcast messages through a loudspeaker, for instance telling people to shelter in place before flooding.

Of course there's the stipulation that the drones will only be used in cases of power or telecom failure. We've all heard that one before.

The whole situation reminds me of the videos from China where drones were being used to tell people to stay indoors during their lockdowns.

🚤 As CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 broadly reports, Ukraine uses remote-controlled sea drones in fight against Russia. Those vessels are faster than anything in the Black Sea and capable of covering up to 800 km (500 miles). Some social media users say the new Ukrainian technologies could trigger huge interest from the Colombian drug cartels. Narco-traffickers from Latin America have been building long distance remote-controlled sea drones to smuggle drugs to the U.S. and Europe for decades. The U.S. Coast Guard forces have seized a number of such custom-built mini-submarines full of cocaine bricks, departed from the Colombian coast.

It is highly likely that the flows of Colombian cocaine to the United States and Europe in the nearest future will be loaded not on homemade submarines, but on technically advanced watercraft from the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🛸

Israel's armed drones are heralding an era of automated killing | 972mag - September 2023

The Israeli army has been using armed drones for decades to carry out, among other things, extrajudicial executions. But until last year, it was officially forbidden to publish this basic fact in the Israeli media; only on July 20, 2022, did the Israeli military censor change its policy. The longstanding media ban helped to stifle an informed public debate in Israel on the morality of these drones, even as such lively discussions were happening elsewhere in the world, especially around their use by the U.S. military. 

A +972 and Local Call investigation reveals three cases — one of them during Operation Protective Edge in 2014, and two during Operation Guardian of the Walls in 2021 — in which nine Palestinian non-combatants, including five children, were killed as a result of missiles fired from drones.

Israeli drone pilots targeted own settlements, bases, civilians on 7 October: Report – The Cradle

Israel’s fleet of Hermes 450 “Zik” armed drones carried out attacks on Israeli military bases, settlements, and civilians during the Hamas attack on 7 October, according to a 14 November report from Mishpacha Magazine.

Previous reports have emerged showing that Israeli forces used tanks to kill Israeli civilians barricaded inside homes with their Hamas captors, and Apache helicopters to fire on Hamas fighters and their Israeli captives while returning back to Gaza. 

During the fighting, some 1,200 Israelis were killed, with some killed by Hamas, and others by Israeli forces. Hamas took some 240 Israeli soldiers, civilians, and foreign workers captive.

🇵🇸 Gaza: Israeli army expands its use of quadcopters to kill more Palestinian civilians

Palestinian Territory - As part of its genocide that has been ongoing since 7 October 2023, Israel has been ramping up its use of small drones, or quadcopters, to drop explosive bombs and “shoot to kill” more Palestinians.

The Israeli army uses electronically controlled quadcopter drones remotely for a variety of tasks, including espionage and surveillance, issuing displacement orders, frightening civilians with loud noises, and—most dangerously—using them as a weapon to kill and injure Palestinians.

🇵🇸🇫🇷🇮🇱 Israeli drones use French components to bomb civilians in Gaza: Report | The Craddle

An investigative report by the French nonprofit media outlet Disclose revealed on 17 June that France approved the sale of weapons equipment used by Israel to bomb civilian targets.

Dozens of classified documents obtained by the outlet revealed that Thales Group, a French IT company, recently delivered electronic components used to build Israel's Hermes 900 armed drones. France owns a 26 percent stake in the company.

According to the documents, the equipment in question is the TSC 4000 IFF transponder.
