This introduction provides an overview of ethical and legal challenges arising from the military and security uses of robotics and “unmanned” or “uninhabited” (and sometimes “remotely piloted”) vehicles in a number of relevant conflict environments. The discussion focuses primarily upon the use of autonomous unmanned platforms in combat and low-intensity international conflict but also offers guidance for the increased domestic uses of both remotely controlled and fully autonomous unmanned aerial, maritime, and ground systems for immigration control, border surveillance, drug interdiction, and domestic law enforcement. An outline of the emerging debate concerning “robot morality” and computational models of moral cognition and an examination of the implications of this debate for the future reliability, safety, and effectiveness of autonomous systems (whether weaponized or unarmed) that might come to be deployed in both domestic and international conflict situations are also included.
