MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 01st October, 2018) Russia's Kalashnikov Concern defense manufacturer on Monday showcased the work of a combat module operated by artificial intelligence, as documented in a video released by Kalashnikov Media.

On the video, the combat module scans an area and identifies threats, indicates the type of object (person or machine), decides on the necessary number of shots for guaranteed destruction and then carries out an attack.

The system can be operated in remotely controlled mode, providing the human operator with an automatic device for recognizing and highlighting targets, an automatic vehicle for tracking ground, air and sea targets, as well as a ballistic computer.

The system can be used at any time of the day and in conditions of reduced visibility due to its optics, according to the statement.

At the same time, the combat module can be used without a human operator. Its artificial intelligence can be trained in the process of work. The station is able to independently make a decision to exclude objects that do not pose danger, for example, animals.
