Soon robots would make own decision when they will open the fire

Soon airborne combat robots like Predator-drones can make their own decision to open the fire against targets. That system would be most effective in air-combat robots, what are similar than X-47B. Also, it would help to produce flying missile stations like robot versions of B-52 bombers. Those bombers can patrol in years in the atmosphere if there would be fuel supply. And if they would get orders, those planes can attack immediately.  This technology bases the same image recognition system, what is used in many cities.


Image recognition system recognizes the weapons, and then in normal situation calls the security personnel to the positions. But in airborne combat robots, this system would open the fire with missiles and machine guns. Also, the image recognition system allows to track enemy tanks and armored personnel carriers, and then that system would open the fire with laser-guided missiles. In this scenario own troops use the recognition systems, what would send the digital code to those airborne drones, and that helps them to avoid the shoot own military personnel.


But the similar system would be very effective when it is used in early warning satellites. In this case, space-borne ABM (Anti Ballistic Missile) system would be equipped with automatized firing mode. In this case would the early-warning satellite and combat satellite combination orbit around the earth. When the missile launch would be detected, that satellite would use salvo of rocket ammunition against those missiles. The best angle to begin shoot those kinetic-energy rockets is forward to incoming warheads, when the projectile gets best impact energy as possible. Also, the microwave or laser-based systems are probably used in future.


When those warheads or missiles are targeted the microwave band radars, their electronic components would be damaged, and if the core of warhead will be damaged, would it melt in the atmosphere. This would cause that the warhead would not detonate, and radioactive material will be delivered to the area. Of course, that will cause cancer, but for the tactical situation, those radioactive bites do not have influence. The "autonomic" kill mode for those combat robots would, of course, cause reactions against those robots.
