Guided weapons though generally do not learn. They usually have very short operating lives, and because the current paradigm is "wooden" rounds or as close to it as possible, generally do not receive any new data after being manufactured. Even if machine learning is employed it would be in R&D to develop or refine algorithms for this or that purpose that would be inserted into the weapon in a fixed form. When a missile is fired in combat it must work, there is no longer any opportunity to refine its behavior.
Atomic Utopia wrote:Well the training would be done during the development of the missile, where the neural net would be trained on target classification (spot the real target from the fakes) and other such things based upon training data extracted from combat information/spies who monitor enemy tests of their defenses. Then the program would be tested on data that was put aside for testing purposes, seen to be accurate enough, and the missiles programmed to use that version of the neural net to target enemies.
Atomic Utopia wrote:Plus, you would simply have the missile transmit the data back to the computers on the plane, so new data would be provided to augment the training of missiles that are currently in production, or perhaps even missiles already produced, allowing for missiles to get more accurate with every intercept.

I want to set a RP in the 1920s and 30s and wanted to know how far back I have to go where I don't have to worry about aircraft carriers ruining my sexy battleship and battlecruiser squadrons.

not very techno-optimist of you, viky!
i for one can't wait to have my eyeballs replaced by huge camera lenses that see in all spectra and have new colors flood my vision!
like those of grils who flee from cyber cock and clamshell exoskeleton. ):

(...) even a very high-technology tank might not be able to rescue American hostages in a hotel in San Salvador or Manila.

Just Zumwalt or sth else?
Gallia- wrote:"Mature technology" sounds like a cop-out excuse for "diminishing intellectual input" or perhaps "laziness" given that the USN didn't even bother to fix the design flaws of the Nimitz hull. :\
