 Lemonodor: UCAR
More helicopters with AI: The Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft (UCAR) is an Army program to create teams of autonomous attack helicopters that work together and with human controllers.
According to Northrop Grumman, autonomy enables engagement options such as “protect self”, in which the UCAR will avoid or engage threats to itself; “protect team”, where it will engage threats to any UCAR and sacrifice itself to protect the manned aircraft; and “protect friendlies”, in which the vehicle will engage threats to friendly forces.
I can't tell if the UCAR team is fighting a hold actioning to allow the teenage child, her caregivers and other "innocents" to safely evacuate in the face of otherwise certain annihilation, or if the UCAR team is the cause of their alleged destruction.
