    Having written about autonomous weapons in January, in this week's I look at wider military applications of AI, from intelligence analysis, to tactical decision-support for commanders, to—some think—the automated command-and-control of battle

  4. India considers greater use of reservists: "more battalions of Territorial Army for civilians who can be mobilised for two months every year, such as truck drivers being used to drive military trucks in summer months for ... high altitude areas."

    Airport security in Zurich: “What were you doing in Europe?” Me: “I performed a concert last night” Her: “What did you play?” Me: “Beethoven Violin Concerto” Her: *casual tone* “Which one?” Me: ...There’s only one- Her: “Oh very good sir. You pass.”

    An extraordinary and regressive claim. Reminiscent of British Raj's claims that Indian soldiers would never accept Indian commanders. Military training is about fundamentally reshaping norms and attitudes that soldiers bring from their social backgrounds.

    "this progress suggests we will get [20cm] resolution [satellite] imagery or better in the next five years, and imagery as good as from current American spy satellites [<10cm] ... in the next decade"

    France announces that it is boosting the number of troops it has in the Sahel in NW Africa by about 600, bringing the French contingent to about 5,100 troops. The move comes as the US weighs reducing its support to the French-led counterterrorism operation in the Sahel

    5/5 So in this newest debate it is again mostly transatlanticists vs. EU-oriented experts, deterrence believers vs. skeptics. I wonder whether Macron will take this into account when he gives his nuclear deterrence speech.

    3/ Former CDU defense minister says Germany need nuclear "umbrella" of allies, including UK. CSU colleague by contrast wants to engage France and UK on "on joint European nuclear technology" (whatever that may be) because of "changing" transatlantic relations.

    2/ maintains that force de frappe is "too small" to defend Europe and that Paris has track record of pursuing its own security interests against others, including Germany. Calls on France to "invest more in European security". (That will go down well in Paris.)

    and I wonder what sort of similar misperceptions are happening today with X-37B or various Chinese satellites and rovers

    3/3: There’s a gulf between the narrow UK statement & the EU document setting out goals for an ambitious & comprehensive partnership. Even allowing for political posturing & negotiating tactics we should be concerned about where this is heading.

    2/3: UK text includes no mention of shared values & goals with other European democracies beyond “friendly cooperation”. Nor of the importance of an international rules based system... but simplistic, misleading language on recovery of “full economic & political independence”.

    1/3: The British government statement yesterday on the future relationship with marks a significant & disturbing turning point. It’s antagonistic tone suggests a fundamental shift in national posture away from long established support for multilateralism and open trade.

    "the shuttle’s 29-ton payload-to-orbit capacity and, more significantly, its 14-ton payload return capacity, were seen as a clear indication that ... its main objectives would be to place massive experimental laser & particle beam weapons into orbit [to] destroy enemy missiles"

    "... an article in the November 1976 edition of Aerospace Daily ... discussed a proposal by McDonnell Douglas to use the shuttle to drop experimental nuclear warheads on a test range in Poker Flat, Alaska' (“on approximately the same latitude as Moscow”)."

    Fascinating on how Soviets saw the Shuttle programme as a threat. "After performing a single orbit, the orbiter would make a quick dive into the atmosphere, drop a nuclear bomb on Moscow and then boost itself back out ... its final descent to Vandenberg."
