Swarms of Flying iPhones: Using Limited Artificial Intelligence to Root Out an Adversary

Abstract

A combination of emerging and existing technologies will shape the future As the number of platforms and data streams grow and become cost effective, from UAS, facial recognition, AI, a machine must replace the human to increase the capacity and processing speed. Swarms of limited AI enabled small-unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) will change the character of a future war and provide the necessary biometric targeting information to separate and target the adversary amongst the friendly or neutral population from whence they seek refuge from bullets and bombs.
