(National Interest) Michael Peck - Israel is developing a new, artificial intelligence-equipped version of its Merkava tank that is also designed to fight in cities. The "Barak," scheduled for deployment by 2021, "will be the first tank to have a smart mission computer that will manage the tanks' tasks," the IDF said. "This advanced artificial intelligence will reduce the team members' workload and help them more accurately locate and strike targets." The Barak will have a virtual reality system embedded into the tank, which the crew can access via special helmets, which "will allow the combat soldiers to see the outside environment from inside the combat vehicle," said a senior Armored Corps officer. It will have systems to warn the driver of obstacles, similar to those found on luxury automobiles, as well as an active protection system against missiles. Improved logistics will enable the tank to carry out missions that are 30% longer than current operations. 2018-08-03 00:00:00Full Article
