This paper highlights ten weapons systems with features that might be informative to considerations around autonomy in weapons systems. It seeks to showcase the diversity of types of weapon systems that are used in a variety of domains, as well as the increase in capabilities; including scope of operation, type of targets, number of systems operating together and range activities that can be undertaken without a human operator. These point to trends in autonomy which could be useful to identify areas where regulation may be necessary to ensure compliance with ethical and legal norms.
