Introduction |
|
Without doubt a new era in the history of aviation has been introduced, now that unmanned aerial vehicles and systems (UAV / UAS) have become an indispensable asset in modern warfare. The demand and reliance on unmanned air vehicles (UAV) in warfighting and peacekeeping operations has substantially increased during the past years, particularly pushed by military use in conflicts such as Iraq, Afghanistan and on Israel’s borders. Achieving information superiority, minimising collateral damage, fighting effectively in urban areas against widely-dispersed forces, and striking autonomously and precisely are areas where unmanned systems will see a further substantial increase. This is why we dedicate this defpro.focus to this innovative topic and offer our readers a condensed but still comprehensive overview on articles, news and press releases in this particular field of defence and security technology. |
