“…With the use of robotic technology in the future, the need for the current number of soldiers on the battlefield can decrease. This can lead to the reduction of combat casualties, which is very desirable from a political point of view, as stated by Hall and Coyne [18], Schörnig [23] or Horowitz and Fuhrmann [20].…”

“…The more expensive human labour, the stronger the incentives to use the robots are expected, and at the same time the substitution of labour by capital will contribute to the protection of human life. Hall and Coyne [18], Lynn and McNerney [8], Schörnig [23], also Horowitz and Fuhrmann [20] believe that the size of the military robotics market and its development are significant factors in the military robotics proliferation. Hall and Coyne [18] further demonstrate the tendencies of the most important market representatives to influence the size of military investment expenditure to their advantage.…”

The aim of the article is to define and quantify the determinants influencing the proliferation of robotic technology into the armament of the national armies and their use in combat operations. At the same time, the article focuses on identifying those countries which will deploy and use these advanced military technologies. Based on the literary research and its analysis, four categories of factors have been identified as the ones having influence on the military robotics proliferation. From the results of the classification model, it is clear that 78 analysed countries were classified on the basis of defined determinants into three groups with different assumptions of proliferation of military robotics.Based on the result of the cluster analysis, it is evident that military robotics proliferation was mainly affected by economic determinants in cluster 1, by security and political determinants in cluster 2 and by political and economic determinants in cluster 3.
