Interesting story that I'm sure some of you are already aware.

This is an excellent report that was written for the Navy Office of Naval Research regarding semi and autonomous robots usage in the military. It covers everything from various land, sea, and space applications to rules of engagement and the decision making chain. A must read for those who find military robots fascinating.

This was an interesting source that talks about how our adversary can utilized off the shelf programs to defeat the multi-million dollars system of our UAV programs.

This article requires that you login into the UMUC Library in order to view it. It dealt with a more technical aspect of what the UAV is all about it. It contains drawings and addresses some ethical concerns.

This source describes various applications of robotic usage by the military. It also talks about damages caused by them whether intentional or by mistakes.

Conflicts are become ever increasing and I used this source to show that the U.S. will be relying more on small forces such as the SEAL team in conjunction with unmanned robots.

As new devices such as these come on-line, we have to take extra care on how we can secure these things.
