👉 An auto-weapon, also known as an unmanned combat vehicle (UCV) or autonomous weapon system (AWS), is a military weapon that can select and engage targets without human intervention. These systems use advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms to identify, track, and neutralize threats autonomously. They can operate in various environments, from land to sea to air, and are designed to perform a range of missions, including reconnaissance, combat, and logistics support. While they enhance operational efficiency and reduce risk to human soldiers, the deployment of auto-weapons raises significant ethical, legal, and security concerns due to issues of accountability, decision-making in complex combat scenarios, and the potential for unintended consequences.
