Military drones are now everywhere. Of course, the capabilities of these machines are not the same, and the top-range models greatly outperform their lower-tier rivals. Simple remotely-operated robots and unmanned aerial vehicles are controlled by a human operator. Human decides what this military machine must do, even when conducting a simple reconnaissance operation, or dropping grenades through an open hatch on a tank's turret. But today we already have combat drones that can operate entirely on their own. This means they can recognize and engage their targets autonomously.
