Short of full on AI controlled, I imagine in the near future we'll see AI handling the target tracking and shooting once aquired and a human will authorize the targets.

Once they are completely autonomous with no man in loop, the scalability is limitless. We already see INS on stormshadows where they can fly to their target with complete loss of contact.

Scary stuff when they're unhackable

I think that's partially why even though they can, they still require a human to make the kill decision.

Once the drone makes the decision itself it's a whole other game.
