This autonomous gun is capable of independently identifying targets with its thermal optics, identifying their range with its range finder, then engaging them at ranges up to 1.2 miles (2 km) with its Milkor MGL 40mm grenade launcher or its Daewoo K3 5.56 machine gun.

I wonder how it discriminates children from legitimate targets, non-human, etc?
8 0 ReplyOne of the few nice things about having a country-wide DMZ is that you can be pretty sure everyone coming across is a legitimate target.
