Perspectives on the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Summary/Abstract: War has been some major developments over time, the appearance of firearms, use energy and nuclear weapons or development vertical component of the war, using aviation and military satellites. Currently battlefield knows a new revolution by the growing use of unmanned aircrafts, known as drones or UAVs. Comparative studies of the use of UAVs in battlespace highlight that the US government deployed 150 “robotic weapons” in 2004 and amazing number of 12,000 in 2008. This indicates an increase by a factor of 80 in four years (although it is important to remember that most of these drones are unarmed). There is no doubt that drones will change the fact of war – soldiers were always in the technological race, but never were declared winners of a war before putting troops on the front line. Soldiers have been, are, and will always be at the frontline, although their number and role could be much different than they are now.
