Defining Autonomous Weapon Systems: A schematic framework for refined purpose-driven definitions
Overview
This arXiv paper critiques existing definitions of autonomous weapon systems (AWS) and proposes a flexible definitional schema to classify various system types within a shared conceptual family. The authors argue that a singular definition is insufficient and instead offer a framework adaptable to future AWS variations without claiming specific deployment results.
