According to China, the artillery shell of the smart cannon can fire at a distance of up to 16 km and accurately hit a human-sized target.
China has successfully tested a new type of artillery that uses artificial intelligence to improve shooting accuracy. According to Interesting Engineering, this artillery can hit targets at a distance of up to 16 km.
AI gunner is equipped with special sensors, cameras and radars that collect information about the location of the target, wind speed, temperature and other factors affecting the trajectory of the projectile. This information is then transferred to a computer that analyzes it and calculates the optimal angle and strength of the shot. The computer also corrects the footage in real time, taking into account changes in the environment.
Chinese developers claim that AI weapons are more accurate than existing types of artillery, which depends on the human factor, which as a result means that shooting accuracy is not always guaranteed.
Conventional artillery shells can land 100 m or more from the target. Guided artillery shells with in-flight direction correction capability. However, their accuracy is limited due to the large amount of real-time data that must be calculated using traditional mathematical models. Scientists say that thanks to the use of AI, this data is now processed at the speed of light.
They also claim that their AI artillery can operate in all weather conditions and resist enemy interference.
“Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. More and more researchers are applying this technology to solve orbital planning problems,” said project team leader Professor Wang Jiang from the Beijing Institute of Technology.
