A military artificial intelligence arms race is an arms race between two or more states to develop and deploy lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS). Since the mid-2010s, many analysts have noted the emergence of such an arms race between superpowers for better military AI, [1] [2] driven by increasing geopolitical and military tensions.
Lethal autonomous weapons (LAWs) are a type of autonomous military system that can independently search for and engage targets based on programmed constraints and descriptions. LAWs are also known as lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), autonomous weapon systems (AWS), robotic weapons or killer robots. LAWs may operate in the air, on land ...
Autonomous Rotorcraft Sniper System is an experimental robotic weapons system being developed by the U.S. Army since 2005. [17] [18] It consists of a remotely operated sniper rifle attached to an unmanned autonomous helicopter. [19] It is intended for use in urban combat or for several other missions requiring snipers.

Will the military weapons of the future be killer robots, essentially? Recent comments from a US Army official might spark such concerns, given that he acknowledged the army is very much looking ...
He worries less about autonomous weapons making decisions on their own than about systems that don’t work as advertised or kill noncombatants or friendly forces.
The US government sees it as an extension of the Department of Defense Directive 3000.09 which is the current US policy on autonomous weapons. [5] It covers areas such as Lethal autonomous weapons and weapons decision-making.
The Defense Department on Wednesday announced a new office focused on accelerating and adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the military as it aims to deploy autonomous weapons in ...
Phalanx automated turret, mounted on USS Denver. A sentry gun is a weapon that automatically aims and fires at targets that are detected by sensors. The earliest functioning military sentry guns were the close-in weapon systems point-defense weapons, such as the Phalanx CIWS, used for detecting and destroying short range incoming missiles and enemy aircraft, first used exclusively on naval ...
