Fearing Bombs That Can Pick Whom to Kill
Today I read an article about fully autonomous missiles.
These missiles are smart, and no longer require people to help guide them. They can avoid radar signals and dodge enemy countermeasures, making them invisible and invincible. These missiles could be the future of warfare, being able to obliterate whole warships in a blast. This will make wars a lot more violent. Countries across oceans could bomb each others' cities, killing millions in a few blasts. War could become as easy as flipping a switch. I think this is scary because if terrorists got a hold on these weapons, they could easily wreak havoc all over the place. The could completely destroy a city like New York, which would devastate the world.
These missiles have a range from 230-580 miles, depending on how much hardware they are carrying. They can be set to change course and targets manually, or they can do it themselves. They also do not emit any signals, and with a design that makes them hard to see with radar. When they get close to the target, they dive towards the ocean and hit the ships at certain designated areas to do the most damage. With this kind of technology, whole fleets could just 'disappear' in the middle of the ocean and they probably wouldn't even have the time to send a SOS signal, because these missiles are so hard to see. They would be pretty much dead by the time they saw the missile.
I think these missiles could revolutionize war, even if that might not be a very good thing.
