Inhaltsangabe

Software-defined warfare, where algorithms, autonomous systems, and data-driven decision-making shape how wars are planned, fought, and sustained, poses moral questions that challenge traditional ethical frameworks. These tensions are more pronounced in army medicine, where AI-enabled systems promise faster care and improved survival while placing healthcare professionals near mechanisms of lethal force. The morality of software-defined warfare intersects with military necessity, medical ethics, and emerging technologies. Further analysis may reveal how moral agency, accountability, and life preservation can be prioritized in an age of algorithmic war. The Morality of Software-Defined Warfare: Just War Theory, Army Medicine, and AI examines ethical dimensions related to the design and implementation of AI in modern aerial drone technology and next-generation software-based warfighting systems. It explores the usage of AI in warfare for optimized lethal capabilities, as well as civilian and military safeguards and security. This book covers topics such as military engineering, political science, and battlefield healthcare, and is a useful resource for engineers, government officials, military personnel, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
