#1 Long range autonomous bombers will be a killerapp military technology, not least because it's not a big deal if they don't make it back.

IMO they should be designed as expendable. After they have completed their bombing, they become big cruise missiles cleaning up any targets not destroyed by the bombing.

#2 Long range Killbots!
Those would be handy for "suicide" bombing runs, truly a fearsome weapon.

#3 Just don't connect them to Skynet. Nothing good comes from that.
