Problem:
This is the exact same kind of shit being used to automate prioritize and execute military kill-chains.
Basically: Finda target, tell others about the target, assess nearby firepower capable of neutralizing the target, determine best course of action.
... all we have to do is cross that last step over into 'and then execute that course of action'.
All the drone warfare in Ukraine?
EM jamming and literally hacking the things or their CnC systems is an effective counter, in certain situations.
So, how do you counter that?
One solution is keep an actual thin wire, like a TOW missile, connecting the operator and the drone. Gotta be a real long wire though.
Other solution?
Make the drone fully autonomous once its been locked in to a specific plan.
Don't worry though, I'm sure Pete Hegseth will navigate this tightrope about as well as traffic stop line walk test.
