Hardcover. Etat : New. Drones Redefined: The Impact of Emerging Technologies on UAS Warfare is an attempt by the Centre for Aerospace Power and Strategic Studies (CAPSS) to provide a structured and forward-looking analysis of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) warfare, progressing from foundational transformations to disruptive future trajectories. Section I, "Cruising High," maps the evolution of UAS from remotely piloted platforms to increasingly autonomous combat systems. It analyses how stealth technologies, artificial intelligence, and electronic warfare are reshaping survivability, decision-making speed, and tactical flexibility. Dedicated chapters assess swarm intelligence, autonomous operations, hypersonic integration, and cyber warfare, highlighting how these domains compress the observeorientdecideact (OODA) loop while simultaneously introducing new vulnerabilities. The section concludes with an in-depth assessment of counter-UAS technologies, addressing detection, tracking, and neutralization challenges in contested airspaces. Section II, "Evolution to the Next Level," focuses on capability enhancement and strategic escalation. It examines advanced materials, propulsion systems, and sensor fusion as force multipliers that expand endurance, payload, and situational awareness. This part also addresses the highly consequential issue of nuclear weaponization of UAS, evaluating its implications for deterrence stability, escalation dynamics, and contemporary warfare. Collectively, the book offers a comprehensive framework for understanding how emerging technologies are redefining UAS operations, doctrine, and strategic risk.
