great to learn from the headline that this tech only works for disaster response maps, and isn't usable for other types of maps, like mapping out the front lines of a war
Why would casualties necessarily go up with surveillance? Every argument for precision targeting can be reversed for evasion.
In Ukraine it’s relatively rare for large numbers of troops to be concentrated, because each side knows its opponents would observe the formation and make it a priority target. This makes something like the battle of the Somme unlikely to be repeated.
In call of duty do casualties go up when both sides have UAVs, compared to when both are without?
Arma Reforger has very good mods depicting drone combat like flying fpvs and bomber drones. Bohemia interactive simulations also focuses on drones in their newest warsim release
As someone who's in the field, I hate how drones and robotics are now associated with anything related to wars. It just kills the passion, and now whenever you mention you work in it, do it, or are interested in it, you get that suspicious look and even a knock on your door.
Unless you do drones only on your private property, they are inherently a creepy, invasive technology (even though I think they're super cool and like playing with them, too)
Do you think that airplanes, helicopters, and balloons are also inherently a creepy, invasive technology as well? Because from the perspective of capturing imaging data from the air there is really no functional difference between those and UAS...
