Warfare has always been shaped by technology. From the invention of gunpowder to the first aircraft carrier, the military advantage has consistently gone to whoever adopted transformative technology fastest and…
Autonomous Weapons Systems
Autonomous Weapons Systems (AWS)—also known as Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) or “killer robots”—are military systems that use artificial intelligence and sensors to independently search for, identify, and engage targets without human intervention. While rudimentary automated defensive systems (such as the Navy’s Aegis system) have existed for decades, modern advances in AI allow these weapons to operate in complex, unpredictable combat environments.
USSOCOM Is Building an AI-Powered Special Operations Force – And the FY2027 Budget Is Funding It
America’s special operations forces have always operated in the shadows — small, elite teams projecting outsized effect far behind enemy lines with minimal footprint and maximum precision. That founding philosophy…
