| Abstract: |
Recent events have brought public attention to the increasing importance of drones, also known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System), in current conflicts: during the Nagorno-Karabakh War, Azerbaijan overwhelming military superiority with Bayraktar TB2 systems has left marks on people's mind. More recently, the intensive usage of drones by Ukrainian forces caused serious damage to the Russian Army, slowing down their progression despite their great numerical superiority. Not only to deliver weapons, but thanks to their extensive persistence and sensor suites, drones are mainly used in many theatres and by many countries to collect valuable ISR (Intelligence Surveillance and Recognisance) data for the decision makers. In this respect NATO assets like the NATO AGS Global Hawk are currently used to collect intelligence data to NATO nations in the Ukrainian-Russian war. Drones represent a game changer for military operations that significantly alters the balance of forces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
