| #6 If a foolproof mechanism for discriminating between friendly and enemy vehicles were developed, some fool at the Pentagon would rush out to announce it to the media. |

| #5 IIRC there was a program to develop an anti-vehicle round for the 120mm mortar back in the 1970s. It would pop a parachute so it had some loiter time and then fire a explosively formed slug downwards at its targets. The idea was that the Warsaw Pact used a common paint so they 'refined' the IR sensor for the chemical compounds in that paint. Supposedly the Soviets said they were going to put additives in the paint and change its spectra (The Enemy always gets a vote!). |

| #2 One method, developed during the Reagan Starwars programs was used to identify missile types by a spectral analysis of their launch exhaust. Laze(r) the plume and assess the fuel composition and combustion cycle revealing friend or foe patterns. As we have seen from innumerable videos, armor and heavy diesels blow a lot of soot when operating. I have also read about paint composition patterns resonating at the molecule level when fanned by a high frequency strobe. what keeps the enemy from subverting the process? Nothing lasts forever. |

| #1 Keth Laumer's Bolo series was great fiction, but... It's that problem with AI Pattern Recognition that keeps stumping them. How do you 'teach' and AI to know what is or isn't a valid target -- and what keeps the enemy from subverting the process? |
