AI is transforming every aspect of warfare, including: sensors and the ability to identify targets on the battlefield; communications and the capability to network together dispersed forces; and command and control and the ability to direct complex distant operations. Nowhere are the effects of AI greater, however, than in the domain of autonomous combat systems. How are autonomous “drones” revolutionizing warfare? What types of operations are becoming more (and less) possible? What types of countries are poised to benefit from the age of UAS-warfare? What type of policies are required to shape, manage, and regulate these changes? What are the pressing ethical issues that this new form of warfare raises?
