Could the drones be programmed with enough stand-alone smarts to target a giant ship surrounded by nothing but ocean? I know nothing about image analysis but it kind of sounds like the big boy version of detecting a black square on a white background.
I mean, yeah. The future of the military is machine learning powered vehicles, since their advantages over previous methods appear enormous. In the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict Turkish drones enabled complete land-air supremacy for Azerbaijan.
