Autonomous lethal defense as claimed necessity versus absent authorization

Resolution state

K04 retains the scenario for high-level assurance analysis, rejects automatic legal conclusions, and requires primary law, regulator decisions, independent testing, and competent authorization before any implementation claim.

Proposition A

Response-time and cost constraints can make autonomous armed protection appear operationally necessary for high-consequence facilities.

Proposition B

Operational necessity and technical feasibility do not themselves create domestic authority, aviation approval, nuclear-regulatory acceptance, human-rights compliance, or lawful rules of engagement.
