It is, like the Bradley and other IFVs that preceded it, a sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA\">multipurpose tool<\/a> in an armored body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the countries looking to replace old machines with the still-in-production CV90 is the Czech Republic. And to make sure it sticks, BAE announced this week that they\u2019re going to use Czech company Meopta to build a SAAB-designed Universal Tank and Anti-Aircraft Fire Control System, or UTAAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a whole lot of acronyms, so here\u2019s the gist: it\u2019s a tool that lets the CV90 do the thing tanks and tank-like vehicles are supposed to do best, move and shoot at other moving and shooting things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how BAE announced the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baesystems.com\/en\/article\/czech-optical-provider-to-support-line-of-sight-technology-for-bae-systems--cv90\">collaboration<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>The modular integrated UTAAS technology provides direct fire capability, which is a critical operational feature. This allows the CV90\u2019s gunner to take aim independently of the vehicle\u2019s movements while the fire control system automatically aligns the gun. In combat situations, this means firing can commence quicker than with conventional target alignment technology, providing a crucial advantage in battle. Meopta\u2019s participation in BAE Systems\u2019 Czech CV90 offering could extend to other future opportunities.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a solid slice of press release, connecting the <a href=\"http:\/\/saab.com\/land\/weapon-systems\/vehicle-weapon-system\/UTAAS-Tank-and-Anti-Aircraft-System\/\">utility of the tool<\/a> and the broader impact of the suppliers as beneficial for the whole result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here\u2019s another takeaway. It also suggests that autonomy for armored vehicles is getting closer to how people imagine tanks already work: a driver that can focus on moving, a gun that can effortlessly hold focus on a foe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When autonomy comes to war machines, it will do so gradually, like it does here. \u201cAutomatically aligns the gun\u201d puts the computer in charge of holding focus on a target, but importantly not in charge of selecting that targeting or making the call to shoot. This is an autonomous middle man, a helper that does the hard part (tracking the target) while leaving the human in charge of the legal parts and deadly parts (finding a target, pressing the trigger). In this way, it joins the long line of already-deployed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/autonomous-weapons-are-already-here\">semi-autonomous weapons<\/a>, and it keeps with most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/pentagon-study-mines-future-robot-war#page-2\">modern military preferences<\/a> for always leaving a human in charge of the important decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, it\u2019s easy to see how this can go from a weapon with autonomous features to an autonomous weapon. With the CV90 deployed in an anti-air capacity, the targets it may find could be small, unmanned vehicles fielded by either insurgents or professional militaries. A system that can track attackers like that might, in a future modification, be given permission to open fire on small flying robots. Perhaps, it would even receive permission to fire at swarms, the kinds of targets without a human inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autonomy will come to tanks and tank-like vehicles gradually, in small parts and small ways, and then it will be here, all at once, ready for a new generation of similarly autonomous threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAE&#8217;s CV90 highlights how easily a weapon with autonomous features could lead to an autonomous weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":54770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":23,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2982],"class_list":["post-26766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"V2D7DNHM2VAMLMOMNG36WUDA3Y","arc_canonical_url":"\/\/2017\/12\/05\/squint-at-the-cv90-and-you-might-see-an-autonomous-weapon\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Squint at the CV90 and you might see an autonomous weapon - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"BAE&#039;s CV90 highlights how easily a weapon with autonomous features could lead to an autonomous weapon.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Squint at the CV90 and you might see an autonomous weapon\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BAE&#039;s CV90 highlights how easily a weapon with autonomous features could lead to an autonomous weapon.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/home\/2017\/12\/05\/squint-at-the-cv90-and-you-might-see-an-autonomous-weapon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-12-05T19:45:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T17:53:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
