Book Description

Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) represent a significant technological transformation in modern military operations. These AI-powered systems autonomously identify and engage targets, raising critical challenges related to military ethics, international humanitarian law, strategic oversight, and accountability.

This book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary exploration of autonomous weapons by integrating perspectives from robotics, artificial intelligence, cyber security, legal policy, and military operations. It examines core technical foundations such as sensor fusion, real-time decision-making algorithms, machine learning-based target classification, secure communication protocols, and software–hardware co-design.

Beyond engineering, the volume critically analyzes ethical, legal, and societal implications, including proportionality, human oversight, compliance with the Geneva Conventions, and accountability mechanisms. It also evaluates the evolving global arms race, international treaties, and policy responses shaping the future of autonomous warfare.

Designed for engineers, researchers, policymakers, and defense analysts, this book serves both as a technical reference and a strategic guide advocating ethical innovation and international cooperation in the era of lethal autonomy.
