Autonomous defense systems encompass unmanned military platforms that operate with varying degrees of independence, from remotely piloted drones to AI-powered systems that can identify, track, and engage targets with minimal human oversight. The category spans unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), autonomous naval vessels, and the AI software that enables autonomous decision-making in contested environments. The Ukraine conflict has dramatically accelerated demand for autonomous defense systems, demonstrating that low-cost drones can be decisive in modern warfare.
