The entire world has gone through quick and unexpected transformations due to the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. ... There are too many weapons in the worlds arsenal involved in protecting and seek and destroy, an example is the many types of aircraft, planes and helicopters, used in war efforts around the world, but this report will explain some of the technology behind the newest types of military hardware used by the air force, called “smart bombs.” the amount of details and information available on this topic is vast and complicate to be able to go into great detail, so this will serve as a reference to give some insight into smart weapons by use of artificial intelligence. ... 0 Smart Weapons
A “smart” weapon is a weapon operated by automation. Smart weapons were originally looked into to produce accurate weapons that will minimize collateral damage of property and innocent people. ... There are currently three types of autonomous weapons: Direct Operated Controlled (DOC) which are controlled by human operators in direct contact with the weapon, Remote Operated Control (ROC) which are weapons that are still controlled by a human but at a distance, and Pre-Programmed Operation (PPO) which are weapons programmed ahead of time to perform a task in a designated place. A fourth type of autonomous weapon, Structured Control weapons (SC) is currently under experimentation, which are weapons with artificial vision or sensor systems that are capable of responding to and working with their environment, which is a form of artificial intelligence according to some computer scientists. ... 0 The Evolution of Smart Bombs
In 1918, the first experiments on guided missiles were tested during the end of World
War I. ... The development of laser- guided bombs (LGB) has dramatically improved the accuracy of weapons guidance and delivery. LGBs are weapons that require no electronic interconnect to the aircraft. ... All these developments in the “smart bomb” technology lead to some of the most recent technology, namely GBU-28 “Bunker Buster,” JDAMs, and JSOWs.
