LETHAL AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS SYSTEMS

Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) represent a fundamental shift in military technology, enabling weapons to select and engage targets without direct human intervention. The technological landscape encompasses a spectrum of autonomy levels, from fully manual systems to sophisticated AI-enabled platforms that can independently identify, track, and neutralize threats. Current systems like Iron Dome, Phalanx CIWS, and emerging sentry technologies demonstrate varying degrees of autonomous functionality, primarily in defensive roles with built-in safeguards and human oversight mechanisms.
