Project Maven was announced as a DoD effort to use computer vision and machine learning to help process full-motion video. That announcement does not establish that every present-day system works the same way or is used for targeting. DoD Directive 3000.09 covers autonomous and semi-autonomous weapon systems and emphasizes appropriate human judgment over use of force, plus rigorous verification, validation, and testing. NSPM-11, issued in 2026, directs a review and update of the directive. Autonomy labels alone do not identify who chooses a target or authorizes engagement. The ICRC-hosted policy analysis describes meaningful human control as a debated concept and notes there is no agreement on a single definition. It is a broader international policy discussion, not a claim that DoD Directive 3000.09 requires a human to approve every engagement. The 2023 directive defines a semi-autonomous weapon system as intended to engage targets selected by an operator, and an autonomous weapon system as able, after activation, to select and engage targets without further human intervention. NSPM-11 directed an update to Directive 3000.09 within 90 days and annual review thereafter; the memo’s timetable is not proof the update was completed.
