3.00@MarkIngraham I specifically asked about new treaties to avoid questions about whether existing treaties on land mines and cluster bombs would count.
What treaty contradictions do you have in mind?
@MartinRandall SADARM uses a magnet to find tanks and kill them. Is that autonomous? Is a reaper on autopilot autonomous? A cruise missile?
@MartinRandall anything where a machine makes a decision as part of a kill chain is autonomous and that's a huge treaty.
@MarkIngraham That's a good point. I was thinking that non-participating countries with no autonomous weapons capabilities would be happy to sign up, but that isn't always the case with such treaties.
