Summary:

The fast-moving technologies involved in robotic warfare are disrupting the military world and shifting the balance of power. We can navigate this coming storm before it's too late. The world is plunging into a new era of warfare, dominated by robotic systems and artificial intelligence. As drones and other new weapons make headlines, militaries, governments, and concerned citizens are asking urgent questions. Author George M. Dougherty provides much-needed answers, from a unique perspective as both a senior miliary leader in defense science and technology and a strategic business consultant to tech companies facing disruptive change.
