.. aircraft having a degree of automated flight capability or being "optionally manned", fully integrated and compatible weapons installed... Wonder if the translation could be "valinnainen miehitys"? Thank you for your help!

valinnainen miehitys
Explanation:
Yes, I think that sounds about right; the aircraft can fly with flight crew or be flown on "auto-pilot", see reference below. Depending on the entire sentence, you could say something like "tai vaihtoehtoisesti miehitetty", vaihtoehtoisesti/valinnaisesti lentää miehitettynä" etc.
