👉 Automated missiles, also known as unmanned or remotely piloted missiles, are advanced weapon systems that utilize sophisticated guidance technologies to autonomously navigate and deliver payloads without direct human intervention. These missiles typically incorporate sensors, computers, and communication systems to identify targets, calculate optimal trajectories, and execute precise maneuvers, often employing GPS, radar, infrared, or other detection methods. They can operate in various environments, from open skies to urban areas, and are designed for rapid response, precision strikes, or surveillance missions. Their automation enhances operational efficiency, reduces the risk to human pilots, and allows for continuous operation in hostile or remote locations. However, their use raises significant ethical, legal, and security concerns due to the potential for unintended escalation and loss of human control over critical military decisions.
