👉 A self-weapon is an advanced, autonomous weapon system capable of identifying and engaging targets without direct human intervention. These systems integrate sophisticated sensors, artificial intelligence, and decision-making algorithms to detect threats, assess situations, and execute attacks independently. Equipped with targeting mechanisms such as missiles or drones, self-weapons can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, making split-second decisions to neutralize threats. While they offer enhanced precision and reduced risk to human soldiers, their deployment raises significant ethical, legal, and security concerns due to the potential for unintended consequences and loss of human control over life-and-death decisions.
