A3-001 will be able to conduct a whole range of missions, from electronic warfare to suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD) and precision strikes. It will have low observability and be capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy.

In general rather than assume capabilities about this system in development, ULAWS are inherently scary and undesirable. Weapons release should never be self-identified and autonomous without preplanning or human involvement. Sweden signed the REAIM 2023 Call to Action and PDRMUAIA. I worry that this will get lost, ignored, or bypassed and malfunctions will happen that harm people unintentionally.
