New tool: networked operational area.

"Patria demonstrates remote operation of Patria AMV armoured vehicle from Tokyo to Finland" (Edr online Magazine)

Researchers controlled the Patria AMV vehicle in Finland. From Japan, over a 5G network. This is a new step for network-based robotics that can operate in both civil and military applications. This technology uses the regular internet as a platform for robot control. This makes the system more flexible than satellite-based systems. The system can use regular internet tools. Like satellite modems. Or regular modem network application tools. The system can use wireless modems and WiFi range-extension systems to extend range and improve coverage. The wireless modem can be connected to a regular internet socket. 

The WiFi extender transmitters. Mesh modems can be installed in the drones. That makes them atmospheric communication satellites. Networked applications. Can tell HQ. About the use of ammunition. And intelligence data about the enemy. If the ammunition is equipped with RFID, HQ can know precisely what type of ammunition is used. How many anti-tank and armour-piercing bullets those troops have. And how many of those bullets are used. The system can tell. Which bullets the operator shoots right now. 

They can be on the ground. This system can improve range. And integrity on the battlefield. This kind of network can interconnect different types of systems. The ability to use regular networks. It is something. That makes drones flexible. Drones that use ground stations can benefit from roaming and mesh architectures. This allows. Drones to be controlled. Without satellites. Another thing that makes these applications interesting is this. Drones can operate as atmospheric satellites. They act like orbital satellites. Stealth drones can carry internet tools to observe and interconnect battlefields. 

Those drones can communicate with kamikaze and other drones. They can use radio- or laser-based communication tools. Lasers can operate under heavy jamming signals. High-flying drones. Can follow and locate lower-flying attack drones. Their high-resolution cameras can locate those smaller drones by following their laser LEDs. The laser LEDs can operate in visible light, Infrared.. And. UV areas. The UV laser pointers are invisible to IR cameras. So those systems can be used as communication and target markers. 

This thing is a new tool for the battlefield. Modern AI makes it possible. That laser marks a target in less than a second. The drone, missile, or bomb takes an image of the target. And then it travels to it. This kind of system. It can make intelligent ammunition possible to attack fast-moving targets. The ability to control robots over the internet is a fascinating idea. The humanoid robots can carry internal mesh modems. So. They can scale their data over the network. This kind of application changes everything that we know about warfare, logistics, and robotics.
