The modern battlespace is going robotic faster than ever before and in the future human armies will not be used to any large degree as a means to attack ones enemies. Human armies take up too much space, are too easily injured or killed, as well as eat too much, complain too much and are too easily emotionally traumatized. We will have robotic unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, even underwater robotic vehicles which will be void of human life and fully autonomous or remotely controlled thru super bandwidth encrypted light communication via satellite, relays, AWACS, command centers and off shore aircraft carriers. As we move towards robotic warfare some scientists and researchers are contemplating how best to defend their positions from human insurgents, guerilla warfare and the new paradigm of urban warfare and resistance. Employing local organic species of the region or slightly modified organic life forms may indeed to prove quite effective in the interim where the robotic cannot quite keep up with the situational awareness and limited sensor capabilities needed to fight a hostile force which is protected under cover and has available to them means of EA or Electronic Attack which renders most robotics completely useless. It maybe smart to take some living samples of the region and modify those species DNA to be stronger and have more agility and fit them with some robotic parts, which would run off the electromagnetic energy of the organic life form as it makes motion. You see evolution has done a terrific job and had a 400-million year head start with regards to insect life and anything we can do now with robotics they generally can do better. Using various methods of gene manipulation we can cause these insects to become more territorial, more aggressive, larger, develop bigger stingers and better agility to take out our enemies or defend our borders from an aggressor, whether it be robotic or human armies or a combination there of. Please think on this. |
