Recently revised Pentagon policy allows for autonomous use of lethal force. In test later this year, combat drone will be asked to chase, kill simulated target, coming up with own strategy for mission. Second program’s goal is Air Force that is more unpredictable and lethal.
Looks like even the original article I could find was updated to state that it was a hypothetical.

Nah, it’s real, there’s a documentary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_(film)
