Abstract

The text deals with the development and methods of robotization in contemporary armed conflicts. The contribution tries to present the main advantages of these vehicles as being the main reasons for their current use by the armed forces and expected proliferation in the near future. We can observe a new trend in the armed conflict in the last two decades – use of advanced systems of unmanned vehicles in such a range that many military and academic experts talk about a new wave of revolutionary changes in the military affairs. This wave, or we could even talk about military-technological breakthrough should lead to imminent use of these systems in contemporary as well as future conflicts which would result in the partial or complex robotization of the battlefield. This process opens questions about the role of the human factor and how will this process impact the existing organisational structures of modern armies. Attention is also dedicated to controversies tied to the use of robotic armed systems and discussion in the context of cultural or societal dimension of their use and perspectives for further development. Contribution is focusing also on the of problems which is connected with potential using op artificial intelligence in the military in the area of lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS).
