    Such tech massively helps with munitions operating properly in a heavily jammed environment as you don’t have a human live-guiding them like we see with the FPV drones Ukraine is using to defend themselves. Currently you can tell munitions autonomously to go to GPS location and/or look for something that has a certain shape (say, a tank) and explode it. However, this works less well for humans as humans generally have the same shape civilian or not. Being able to tell a munition to ‘look in this GPS box for a munitions dump, a soldier in a trench, or a logistics truck and explode it’ would be quite powerful; particularly if combined with mass waves of inexpensive ordinances.
