(45) In response to this challenge, DARPA is investing heavily in the Collaborative Operations in Denied Environments (CODE) project, "which would allow multiple drones to independently fly to their objective and then find, identify and kill their targets." (46) Under CODE, a swarm of AWS would have a single human operator in theater (or no direct human operator at all), as opposed to the status quo of positioning multiple operators for each system far from the battlespace for nonautonomous, remote-control weapons like Predator UAVs.
For example, Torelli [15] considered stability of Euler methods for the nonautonomous nonlinear delay differential equations.

On the other hand is execution flexibility, where systems that have tight constraints on available actions are considered nonautonomous. Examples include a land mine, trip-wire explosive, or defensive gun emplacement, as opposed to a robotic tank ordered simply to "guard a perimeter," which most would consider autonomous.
