The aim of this working paper is to help delegates and the interested public to better understand the ‘innovation ecosystem’ that is driving the development of autonomy in weapon systems. The paper maps out where relevant innovations are taking place from three different perspectives: (a) a science and technology perspective (the field of research and development, R&D), (b) a geographical perspective (the location of key R&D institutions), and (c) a sector perspective (whether innovation is driven by civil or military research) UR - https://www.sipri.org/publications/2016/other-publications/mapping-innovation-ecosystem-driving-advance-autonomy-weapon-systems ER -
