Well, at least they didn’t name it the “Penetrator.”

Penetrator...Deep Invader...

Tomato...Tomahto.

Gittin 'er dun is what matters.

Was that sexist?

Mebbe. Don't care.

...according to novelist Daniel Suarez, autonomous robotic weapons are virtually an inevitability.
Unless they can rely on robotic ground crews to fuel, rearm, and service them, we're not at risk of Skynet.
