Rapid technological advancements in the realm of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) are reshaping the global security landscape and influencing the conduct of contemporary conflicts. This comprehensive book, featuring esteemed experts from around the world, offers timely insights into the current and emerging challenges associated with the increased deployment of RAS by states, militaries, and non-state actors.

The development of a single transformative technology, such as the atomic bomb, can lead to significant technological change in the international security environment. However, more often than not, it arises from the simultaneous maturation of multiple technologies. This second scenario more accurately reflects the rapid technological transition we are experiencing, leading us into the era of robotics.

Within the pages of this edited volume, numerous chapters delve into the complex ethical, legal, and operational challenges that are poised to intensify as RAS technology continues to evolve. While the precise long-term implications of autonomous systems, both physical and non-physical, remain shrouded in uncertainty, it is crucial to endeavor to anticipate their direction and impact. This book serves as a vital contribution to this critical endeavor.

The chapters in this book were originally featured as a special issue of the esteemed journal "Small Wars & Insurgencies."
