Kalashnikov develops fully automated neural network-based combat module

"In the nearest future we plan to unveil a whole line of neural network based products. A fully automated combat module based on that technology is to be unveiled during the ARMY-2017 forum," communications director of Kalashnikov Concern Sofiya Ivanova told TASS. Neural network technologies allow the module to identify targets and make decisions on its own, according to Ivanova. It remains unclear whether the module will actually open fire on its own or wait for a human to authorize it. Artificial neural networks are computing systems inspired by biological neural networks, e. g. actual brains.
