RSA Conference USA 2010: Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and 21st Century Conflict 1/4

Clip 1/4
Speaker: Dr. Peter Warren Singer, Senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative, Brookings Institution

What happens when science fiction becomes battlefield reality? An amazing revolution is taking place on the battlefield, starting to change not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and ethics that surround war itself. This upheaval is already afoot -- remote-controlled drones take out terrorists in Afghanistan, while the number of unmanned systems on the ground in Iraq has gone from zero to 12,000 over the last five years.
