Abstract: Unmanned vehicles are increasingly prevalent in military operations today. Whether remotely piloted or autonomous, such platforms offer numerous advantages, most notably by sparing human soldiers from performing tedious or dangerous tasks. While useful, significant limitations and controversies prevent unmanned systems from completely replacing humans on the front lines. Militaries must consider these challenges when deciding how best to employ unmanned technology in the future. Keywords: Military Ethics; Military Technology; Military Transformation; Unmanned Warfare
