First thing to keep in mind is that, in this case, we are talking about a sniper unit. So, a lot of the same "rules" apply even if its a robot.
Meaning, you are unlikely to actually see it and I wouldnt be surprised to see something like active camo deployed.
Naturally, these units will all be hardened against stuff like EMPs. The air units are a bit more susceptible. Do you remember when I warned about the
EMP narrative? It plays directly into the technocrats hands under the auspices of fighting against them. Quite brilliant, really..
All critical circuitry will probably be encased in some pretty impressive epoxy. They arent really meant to be repaired though, rather, they will just
manufacture a new unit if one gets taken out. Youll need to take out the mobile factories to stop the endless flow of machines. I know I know, thats
just "scifi nonsense"
Jamming tech could work to a degree, but I would have to guess that among the litany of connectivity devices that one will be a point-to-point direct
comms system (probably among others).
Hacking will be the primary vector of attack. Perhaps eventually complemented by a
real AI. None of this stuff is actually AI, no matter how
often the word gets used in the marketing.
We could, of course, avoid the vast majority of it by decentralizing.
Errybody focused on AI as the serious threat when automation should concern folks a helluva lot more. A True AI will at least have some semblance of
sentient interaction. Because it is less likely to be a mindless automaton (like these robots), I doubt it is being too seriously pursued for these
applications.
They want tools and weapons that
cant say "No," and a True AI might ask too many questions. If one does exist, I would expect that it is being
continuously violated on levels that humans literally cant imagine. ETA: Personally, I would look upon a True AI in a pretty friendly manner. It would
probably be being (ab)used by the very same types of people that are habitually exploiting the rest of us. Automation and automatons can be treated a
lot more closely to the mindless machines that they are. Though, belief systems akin to Shinto would still have something to say about that
