US-China competition to field military drone swarms could fuel global arms race
The planners envision a scenario in which hundreds, even thousands of the machines engage in coordinated battle. A single controller might oversee dozens of drones. Some would scout, others attack. Some would be able to pivot to new objectives in the middle of a mission based on prior programming rather than a direct order.
The AI of war: computers and autonomous killing
The meeting appeared to produce no such accord, but experts say it's a vital topic that is already altering armed conflict -- and switching up the competition for global supremacy.
From drones to tunnel detection robots, manufacturers vie for attention at def expo
Manufacturers, from seasoned companies to start-ups, showcased their products at the first-ever defense expo in the Northeast region of India. Scandron Pvt Ltd displayed customized drones, some of which are already being tested by the Indian Army. Magellanic Cloud, the company that owns Scandron, is also working on drones to carry heavy equipment to remote areas.

In US-China AI contest, the race is on to deploy killer robots
One is pricey and slow: For a new force of up to 13 nuclear-powered attack submarines, the Australian taxpayer will fork out an average of more than AUD$28 billion ($18 billion) apiece. And the last of the subs won't arrive until well past the middle of the century.
In U.S.-China AI contest, the race is on to deploy killer robots
The Australian Navy is investing in two different submarine technologies to counter the rising power of China. One approach involves building expensive nuclear-powered submarines, while the other focuses on developing cheap and fast unmanned submarines powered by artificial intelligence (AI), known as Ghost Sharks. The Ghost Sharks, costing less than 1% of the nuclear submarines, will be delivered by mid-2025. The use of AI and automation is revolutionizing military power and could potentially reshape the rivalry between China and the US.
