Possible Applications of Neurocomputing in Defense
From Artificial Intelligence to Acquired Wisdom Despite their phenomenal number-crunching properties, even the super-computers that are capable of solving complex mathematical equations in seconds cannot stand any comparison with the universal computing capacity of the human brain when it comes to performing numerous fundamental functions simultaneously. Conventional computers, for example, cannot rapidly recognize patterns, work from unprepared input from sensors, or anticipate the consequences of situations, even if they make full use of the "knowledge" stored in their databases. This situation, however, might change in the near future with the advent of neural networks (also called neurocomputers or neural systems). Although nobody has yet been able to explain conclusively how the brain functions, a number of scientists and engineers are currently looking at ways of designing electronic structures that mimic naturally intelligent networks, such as the human brain. The successful development and application of neural networks to military and civil uses are bound to change the fabric of society on every conceivable level just as profoundly ...See the full content of this document
