Warfare in the Robotics Age

---

"An impressive work.... Thoughtful and judicious in addressing its subject, which makes it a particularly valuable resource and an excellent choice for readers seeking a balanced discussion of robotic warfare."—C. Dale Walton, Comparative Strategy  "Some books come and go. This book, however, will have a lasting impact by teaching contemporary and future generations how to think about the growing role of robots and artificial intelligence in warfare.... Essential." —Choice"This detailed study of the use of robots across all three domains—land, air, and sea—is filled with fascinating details and trenchant analysis.... Highly commended for its balanced and thorough treatment." —Frank Hoffman, National Defense University From artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles to human augmentation … robots are increasingly being used by the military. For what operational purposes? How will this reshape the conduct of war? What are the strategies and capabilities being developed by China, Russia, the US, and other nations, and with what impact on international relations? To address these complex questions, Ash Rossiter and Peter Layton explore the past, present, and potential military use of robotic systems. The result is a critical assessment of not only the opportunities and challenges, but also the dangers, of warfare in the robotics age.
