The U.S. Navy's Fire Scout Ship-Launched UAV China plans to hunt submarines using its own sea-launched UAVs running genetic algorithms. U.S. Navy
China usually holds its military hand very close to the vest--that, or things “mysteriously” leak that it doesn’t (does) want the world to know about--so we’re left to wonder why the People’s Republic has decided to publish this in the journal Advanced Materials Research. Nonetheless, it’s pretty interesting. Chinese navy researchers have plans for a new submarine hunting scheme that uses ship-launched UAVs running genetic algorithms.
Genetic algorithms narrow down a range of possibilities to an optimal solution much the way evolution does (at least in a simplified sense)--by weeding out the weaker offspring and mating the best with the best to create stronger candidates. These algorithms would take into account things like fuel economy, potential air and sea threats, and oceanographic geography to zero in on the most likely places for submarines to be moving at a given time.
Working with dropped sonar buoys, the drones would then attempt to locate enemy subs in action. Just whose subs are Chinese hunting for, and in what waters do they expect to find them? Surely this revelation by the Chinese “underwater weaponry and chemical defense department” (yup, that’s a single department) at the naval academy at Dalian couldn’t have anything to do with Taiwan, the U.S., or the Pentagon’s renewed focus on the Pacific.

CHINA WILL GROW LARGER
CHINA STRONG
CHINA SUPERIOR
CHINA POLLUTES
I guess you could say china finds the idea of enemy subs hiding in their waters after they launch these drones to be...

THIS JUST IN: U.S. announces A.I. controlled stealth subs capable of evading Chinese drones. :v:
CHINA SKYNET
CHINA WILL LIVE IN PROSPERITY
A VERY GOOD PLAN GENERAL
Genetic Algorithm Is... ANCIENT CHINESE SECRET

AT REAST WE CAN KEEP OUT THOSE GOD DAMN MONGORIANS NOW.
My God, the jokes up to this point have been absolutely masterful.
Well done gentlemen, well done :v:

Also
CHINA CAN USE THESE!
THEY CAN NOT DESTROY CHINA!!!!
Oh the C & C nostalgic memories.
China is a bubble about to burst.
The rain falls as the mountain rises.

Your point?
[QUOTE=mac338;34965217]You're in the EU lol[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but still things aren't going as much to shit as in other parts of the world (USA)
We build for Chinaaaah!

You're going to get stoned for this comment. Enjoy.
