The United States military plans to start using thousands of autonomous weapons systems in the next two years in a bid to counter China's growing power, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks announced in a speech on Monday.
Military robots are an idea whose time has come.In her speech, Hicks talked of a perceived urgent need to change how wars are fought. Shefield attritable autonomous systems at scale of multiple thousands, in multiple domains, within the next 18 to 24 months.
"Attritable" means the robot is cheap enough that it can be placed at risk and lost if the mission is of high priority. Such a robot is not quite designed to be disposable, but it would be reasonably affordable so many can be bought and combat losses replaced.
