WASHINGTON\u2014Robotic killing machines prowl the land, the skies, and the seas. They are fully automated, seeking out and engaging with adversarial robots across every domain of war. Their human handlers are relegated to the rearguard, overseeing the action at a distance while conflicts are fought and won by machines.<\/p>\n

Far from science fiction, this is the vision of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley.<\/p>\n

The United States, according to Milley, is in the throes of one of the myriad revolutions in military affairs that have spanned history.<\/p>\n

Such revolutions have spanned from the invention of the stirrup to the adoption of the firearm to the deployment of mechanized maneuver warfare and, now, to the mass fielding of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n

It is a shift in the character of war, Milley believes, greater than any to have come before.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday we are in \u2026 probably the biggest change in military history,\u201d Milley\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0during a March 31 discussion with Defense One.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re at a pivotal moment in history from a military standpoint. We\u2019re at what amounts to a fundamental change in the very character of war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robotic Armies in 10 Years<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many would no doubt be more comfortable with the idea of robots battling for the control of Earth if it were in a science-fiction novel or on a movie screen rather than on the list of priorities of the military\u2019s highest-ranking officer.<\/p>\n

Milley believes, however, that the world\u2019s most powerful armies will be predominantly robotic within the next decade, and he means for the United States to be the first across that cybernetic Rubicon.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the next ten to fifteen years, you\u2019ll see large portions of advanced countries\u2019 militaries become robotic,\u201d Milley said. \u201cIf you add robotics with artificial intelligence and precision munitions and the ability to see at range, you\u2019ve got the mix of a real fundamental change.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s coming. Those changes, that technology \u2026 we are looking at inside of 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means that the United States has \u201cfive to seven years to make some fundamental modifications to our military,\u201d Milley says, because the nation\u2019s adversaries are seeking to deploy robotics and AI in the same manner, but with Americans in their sights.<\/p>\n

The nation that gets there first, that deploys robotics and AI together in a cohesive way, he says, will dominate the next war.<\/p>\n
