Fully Autonomous Drone Warfare Is Coming To Ukraine - And Iran
Ukraine is developing fully autonomous drone warfare capabilities, with companies like NORDA Dynamics creating battle-tested drones that can guide themselves to targets. The technology is advancing quickly, with the potential for machines to search and identify targets on their own, raising ethical and legal concerns.
NORDA Dynamics is a leader in autonomous drone warfare in Ukraine. The company has developed partial autonomy in drones, which guide themselves to targets once a human selects it. The next stage is machines that can search and identify targets on their own. International Humanitarian Law does not explicitly ban such weapons, but requires attacks to distinguish between combatants and civilians. Ukrainian commanders are cautious about full autonomy, worrying about drones misidentifying friendly vehicles. Russia has shown a greater willingness to kill noncombatants, using Geran drones that travel autonomously to preset GPS coordinates.
