A near infinite supply of raw materials made that abundantly evident but over-engineering is found in even their earliest designs, which are almost all cannibalized US military equipment. Anyways they tend to prefer a "personal" operator be present with directly connected controls in 9/10 vehicles, though they employ multiple designs run by a simple "slave AI. This operator usually has primary control of the vehicle but that is determined within a sort of hierarchy hardcoded into the actuator. "Correctional" moves by assistant slave AI(s) embedded in the vehicle/device have first priority and represent precision alterations to any slight imperfections in input command, in the event that any can be found. User input has secondary preference. Full slave control has third priority, some vehicles' assistant AI is able to assume full command of designated actuators if the operator is suddenly incapacitated. This control comes with severe limits due to the fact that slave AIs are inherently less secure than sentient AIs, all weapon control is revoked, if any were present, and control of propulsion and navigation granted.(07-03-2015, 02:24 AM)Surge Wrote: Random lore moment.isnt tecarians a "robot-like race"? I'm pretty sure they dont need a glass canopy if they can either remotely control it or completely autonomous which by their technology level is possible.
The Tecarian F-23X "Scissor" ASF, although a direct technological descendent of the F-22, is comparable in size more to the J-20, with the enlarged fuselage accounting for it's intricate VTOL and thrust venting systems as well as it's twin 30mm armament and internal bays. The finalized F-23 Raven is proportionally identical.
The F-20 Peregrine starfighter sits at a size more comparable to the F-35 with wings fully extended. There is no major proportional difference between current field testing models or proposed F/A variants.
Actually, an easier to understand angle is that a lot of telepresence and automation can already be found, but only the operator is considered to be "reliable" because the sentient AI and directly connected actuators are functionally impervious to most if not all forms of hacking, and with everything so closely networked on a wireless level putting total faith in the surrounding vehicle's systems is not considered wise.
As for uploading the full AI into the vehicle...well...what kind of life is being a fighter jet? You sit in a hanger until you are told to go fly somewhere and kill some people, not considered a "humane" fate for a fully sentient AI and expressly outlawed. Transfer of an AI from one medium to another is difficult as the complexity of the program necessitates a massive loss of cognitive functions during transfer, this was found to inflict distress of some sort in the subject AI that persisted after transfer an unacceptable number of times and was written off as a viability.
