Japan will make intelligent missiles

Japan's smart missiles will be capable of detecting and correcting themselves.

Fox News said that most of the spacecraft now have artificial intelligence, so they have the ability to manually adjust the flight path, evaluate the status of the mission, how to perform the task, switch to safe mode when the incident occurs. . Last year the NASA provided a software for the Opportunity Mars self-propelled exploration vehicle to decide what rocks it should investigate.

But all types of missiles operate on an automatic basis. They can send a message to engineers when a problem occurs, but nothing can be done to fix the problem. Much of the technology used in rocket production has been used for decades.

Epsilon, the type of missile that JAXA is about to build, can self-test systems, find the cause of the problem and, in some cases, fix the problem itself, Tech News Daily reported. Currents direct the direction of the propulsion system, thereby controlling the direction of the missile. All current missiles are unlikely to stop a surge of voltage or regulate the flow of electricity so missiles can not deviate. Epsilon will be able to do these two thanks to the artificial intelligence system.

Yasuhiro Morita, who directs JAXA's Epsilon research program, says it is a three-stage solid-fuel rocket. It is designed to bring low to medium mass merchandise into the universe. JAXA claims that the cost of Epsilon will be 25% lower than the MV used by Japan, but it's easier to operate.
