Description
As weapons grow more lethal and the distance between decision and destruction shrinks, this book explores a future in which war is increasingly conducted by machines rather than people. Through a clear, forward-looking survey of surveillance, target acquisition, and automated systems, it examines how technological advances could enable engagements fought with minimal human confrontation. The narrative considers the strategic promise and unsettling implications of delegating lethal force to automated processes, raising questions about control, accountability, and the changing nature of conflict. Written in a direct, analytical style characteristic of defense-focused futurism, it offers a compelling glimpse of how automation may reshape both battlefields and the ethics surrounding them.
