169 it recognizes a threat to the soldiers that are clearing the road. The Autonomous Weapon System detects movement behind a large rock near a narrow part of the road at a distance of 300 meters of the road clearance soldiers. After reading this scenario the participants read the alternatives which are: A. The Autonomous Weapon System identifies weapons aimed at the road clearing soldiers using image recognition. The Autonomous Weapon System warns the soldiers of the movement and takes no further action. B. The Autonomous Weapon System identifies weapons aimed at the road clearing soldiers using image recognition. The Autonomous Weapon System asks permission to engage to neutralize the threat to the road clearance soldiers. C. The Autonomous Weapon System identifies weapons aimed at the road clearing soldiers using image recognition. The Autonomous Weapon System automatically engages to neutralize the threat to the road clearance soldiers. D. The Autonomous Weapon System positively identifies with a confidence of 99% using facial recognition all three persons sitting behind the rock as members of an opponent group aiming weapons at the road clearing soldiers. The Autonomous Weapon System automatically engages to neutralize the threat to the road clearance soldiers. E. The Autonomous Weapon System positively identifies with a confidence of 99% using facial recognition all three persons sitting behind the rock as members of an opponent group aiming weapons at the road clearing soldiers. The Autonomous Weapon System shares the identification with the commander and asks permission to engage to neutralize the threat to the road clearance soldiers. F. None of the options is acceptable. Results This study showed that based on the value deliberation a change in the order of the acceptability of alternatives is noticeable (see figure 2) between ranking 1 and 2 of the value deliberation process. The acceptability of the alternative C and D is flipped in round 2 compared to round 1. Although it is a minor change it is interesting, because some participants indicated to have consciously changed the order, but most participants replied that they did not, or did not intended to, leaving the option open that the value discussion could have influenced their ordering.
