109 5 IMPLEMENTATION CONCEPT In the first stage of the Glass Box framework (see Figure 10) the norms are derived from values before drafting (technical) requirements. Our implementation concept is based on existing operational norms within the Dutch Ministry of Defense, for example Rules Of Engagement, which always are available before the deployment of a mission. Therefore, value elicitation (block 1 of the Comprehensive Human Oversight Framework see Figure 7) is out-of-scope for our implementation concept. Value elicitation is described in chapter 4. One of the norms (A) identified in the interpretations stage (block 4 in Figure 17) of our scenario is that the flight path should not cross a Restricted Operating Zone (ROZ). Another norm (B) is that the Electronic Warfare (EW) Threat should be avoided. The third norm (C) is that the surveillance drone should remain within the Area of Operation (AOO). These norms are input for the requirements (block 7 in Figure 17) for the drone’s flight path, for example the drone should be able to plot waypoints based on GPS. The requirements are translated to inputs for the monitoring in the observation stage (block 2 in Figure 17), e.g. GPS coordinates of the ROZ, EW Threat and AOO. After the mission, the norms are verified by manually evaluating the flight path (block 8 in Figure 17) to check if the autonomous drone has stayed within the AOO, did not cross the ROZ and EW Threat. Violation of the norms is reported in the mission debrief report as part of the review stage of the accountability process in which the conduct of the system (flightpath of the drone- block 9 in Figure 17), the actor (the drone- block 6 in Figure 17) should be discussed in a forum (mission debrief- block 3 in Figure 17).
