== Overview == Humanity's quest to find [[innovative]] ways to deal with difficult, monotonous and dangerous activities has been an ever evolving and unending endeavor. The current proliferation of [[robotic]] technology is just the next step in this evolutionary sequence. Both civilian and military agencies alike are vying for this new round of [[technology]]. Most civilian applications of [[robot]]s are innocuous and generally perform menial tasks. The same cannot be said for the military. Currently there are numerous systems in each branch of the military that have some [[autonomous]] lethal engagement ability. As military professionals, we have a duty to ensure the legal framework, proper [[policy]], moral and ethical considerations, as well as proper tactics and doctrine are in place to ensure compliance with the [[Rules of Engagement]] ([[ROE]]) and the [[Laws of Armed Conflict]] ([[LOAC]]) before embarking down a path to fully [[automated]] [[autonomous]] lethal force. This paper investigates some of the more pressing issues and present recommendations for potential paths forward. To facilitate the discussion, the paper is divided into three major areas: the legal implications, ethical implications and professional implications of use of [[robot]]s in warfare.
