Filmed during the recent cross-border violence between Israel and Gaza, this video shows a missile fired from Israel intercepting a rocket launched in Gaza. The missile was projected by Israel’s Iron Dome that autonomously senses threats and sends a warning to an operator who then gives the commands to fire.
这部视频是在最近以色列和加沙跨境冲突时拍摄的，显示以色列发射的导弹拦截加沙发射的火箭弹。 该导弹是由以色列的铁穹系统投射的，该系统能自动感知危险信号，并将警告传给操作人员，由操作人员给出发射信号进行发射。
The U.S relies heavily on its growing arsenal of unmanned aerial vehicles or drones. They provide surveillance, identify targets, and can deliver lethal forces but only if an operator gives the goal ahead.
美国在很大程度上依靠着不断发展的无人驾驶飞行器，也被叫做雄蜂无人飞机。 这些飞机提供监视、目标识别服务，还能够运输致命武器，但是必须要有专人给出具体的目标任务。
David Mepham, Britain’s Director of Human Rights Watch, says within decades technological advances could wipe the human operator out of the equation.
大卫·梅珀姆是人权观察站组织英国负责人，他说在几十年之内，随着技术的发展，这些无人机将可以完全不需要人工的干预。
“Drones are not fully autonomous weapons. They have to involve human intervention in terms of their targeting and the decision to strike. But that’s been an increasing trend in the way the western militaries in particular have been going in recent years. This will be several technological steps beyond that. It will be potentially, be, a weapon system that’ll take we human beings out of the loop.”
“目前的黄蜂无人机还不是完全自动的自动武器， 在目标确认以及做出打击的决定等方面，还需要人工干预。 但是目前已出现了不断增长的趋势，特别是西方国家这些年的研发， 除此之外，还需要有其他的一些技术发展。 无人机将很有可能成为无需人类干预的武器系统。”
Researches are already on their way, he says. The U.S navy has commissioned the X47B, the first drone designed to operate from an aircraft carrier at sea and carry out preprogrammed missions autonomously.
他说这方面的研究已经开始了。 美国海军已经投入使用名为X47B的无人机，该无人机用来在海上航母上进行操作，可以自动进行一些预先编写的任务。
