Drones
Productivity Press (Verlag)
978-1-4987-6574-9 (ISBN)
This book illustrates the current state of warfare, the challenges we face, and the role drones can and will play in this increasingly complex environment.
Taken from a multitude of perspectives and making sense of the confusing details that media and the academy have not been able to explain, readers will be shown we have come in terms of drone technology and combat application -- they may very well be shocked by the implications of what countries like the US and Israel are already doing. Taking a close look at what is being developed and deployed by the world's leading powers, the volume offers rare insights into this fascinating and often shrouded area of innovation.
This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, air power and international relations.
