Algorithms of Armageddon by George Galdorisi; Sam J. Tangredit is unclear if U.S. policy makers and military leaders fully realize that we have already been thrust into an artificial intelligence (AI) race with authoritarian powers. Today, the United States' peer adversaries—China and Russia—have made clear their intentions to make major investments in AI and insert this technology into their military systems, sensors and weapons. Their goal is to gain an asymmetric advantage over the U.S. military. The implications for our national security are many and complex. Algorithms of Armageddon examines this most pressing security issue in a clear, insightful delivery by two experts. Authors George Galdorisi and Sam J. Tangredi are national security professionals who deal with AI on a day-to-day basis in their work in both the technical and policy arenas.

Autonomous Vessels in Maritime Affairs by Tafsir Matin Johansson (Editor); Jonatan Echebarria Fernández (Editor); Dimitrios Dalaklis (Editor); Aspasia Pastra (Editor); Jon A. Skinner (Editor)This book examines law and governance implications in relation to maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS). Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, it focuses on a wide array of timely, topical and thorny issues, including naval warfare and security, seaworthiness and techno-regulatory assessments, global environmental change, autonomous passenger transportation, as well as liability and insurance. It also considers selected national and regional developments. The book provides an insight into the role of innovation-diplomacy as the driving force that could expedite the transition from automation to autonomy. After navigating through the complex law and governance landscape, it concludes by assessing critical findings for further consideration. The book will appeal to scholars and students of maritime technology, law and governance.

Guiding Documents
Department of the Navy Unmanned Campaign Framework; March 16, 2021It is imperative that we employ new and different
strategies to win the future fight. Unmanned concepts
allow us to rewrite the narrative on traditional warfare.
Through a capabilities-based approach we can build a
future where unmanned systems are at the front lines
of our competitive advantage. The Naval force needs to
move toward a capability-centric proactive environment
able to incorporate unmanned systems at the speed of
technology, to provide maximum agility to the future force.
DoD Directive 3000.009: Autonomy in Weapon SystemsThis directive:
• Establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for developing and using autonomous and semiautonomous functions in weapon systems, including armed platforms that are remotely operated or
operated by onboard personnel.
• Establishes guidelines designed to minimize the probability and consequences of failures in
autonomous and semi-autonomous weapon systems that could lead to unintended engagements.
• Establishes the Autonomous Weapon Systems Working Group.
DoD Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap 2017-2042The intent of this document is to provide
overarching strategic guidance that will align the Services’ unmanned systems goals and efforts
with the DoD strategic vision. This strategic guidance will focus on reducing duplicative efforts,
enabling collaboration, identifying challenges, and outlining major areas where DoD and
industry may collaborate to further expand the potential of unmanned systems. As DoD has
embraced the use of unmanned systems across nearly every operating environment, this strategy
will allow DoD to capitalize on the technology advancements and paradigm shift that unmanned
systems provide.
United States Air Force Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan 2009-2047This document presents a USAF Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan 2009 to 2047. It is
an actionable plan, characterized by Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) recommendations, balancing lessons learned with future requirements. The vision is the USAF postured to harness increasingly automated, modular, globally connected, and sustainable multi-mission unmanned systems resulting in a leaner, more adaptable and efficient air force that maximizes our contribution to the Joint Force.

Society activities provide support for the U.S. Navy; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Marine Corps; U.S. Merchant Marine and U.S. Army.
IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems SocietyThe AESS is the only professional society dealing with total integrated electronic systems and the enabling technologies. AESS pioneered large-scale integrated interoperable systems.
Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) SocietyThe Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) Society was founded on July 14th 1994. At the IAS-2 conference in Amsterdam a questionnaire was distributed to get an indication on whether there is sufficient interest to found an IAS Society. It was proposed that this Society should have as primary aim the organization of the IAS conference every other year. Alternatively, a workshop on a specific topic could be organized in those years when no conference is being held. It was also suggested that Society members would receive a newsletter informing them on the activities of the Society. During the IAS-3 conference in Pittsburgh (1993) the ideas were further discussed and it was decided to establish the IAS Society. Thus, an International Society for Intelligent Autonomous Systems was founded by the organizers of the IAS Conferences on July 14th 1994. As of 1995, the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal of Elsevier has been affiliated to IAS Society.
