Why it’s important:

  • Removing the human in the loop for what targets to hit and who to kill is problematic.
  • This moves us, as he points out, into a whole new phase of warfare (and likely detached inhumanity). New strategies, tactics, etc. will be needed to fight algorithms.

The “Skynet” Threshold: How successful Electronic Warfare is accelerating fully autonomous weapons. 🤖🎯

We are crossing a dangerous threshold in military technology, driven by a fascinating paradox.

For years, the focus has been on jamming GNSS/GPS signals to disable drones. But what happens when you jam the GPS of a new generation asset like the Chernika-2?
Nothing. It keeps coming.

The intense success of Electronic Warfare on current battlefields has forced a rapid technological evolution. We have pushed the enemy away from reliance on external signals and toward fully autonomous, onboard systems.
The newest threat is Machine Vision. These drones “look” at the terrain below, compare it instantly to onboard satellite maps, and navigate without needing a single satellite link.
Crucially, they lock onto targets visually in the terminal phase, making them immune to “last-mile” jamming.

The uncomfortable reality: By perfecting our ability to jam signals, we are accelerating the development of AI-driven weapons where the human is completely out of the loop.
We are no longer just fighting the hardware; we are fighting the algorithm.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don’t see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it’s exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn’t a feature — it’s the foundation everything else depends on.
