Paperback. Etat : Good. Small unmanned aircraft are already transforming warfare, with hand-launched scouts like the Raven and lethal tactical drones like Switchblade already in use by US forces. A bigger revolution is on the way, as swarming software allows a single operator to control large numbers of drones, and smartphone technology means they can be built for $1,000 each -- by anybody, not just governments. This book looks at the history of drone warfare, the rise of big drones like the Predator and how they are being eclipsed by smaller unmanned aircraft. And how the future is being shaped by smartphone technology, swarm software, miniaturised munitions and energy-harvesting that allows small drones to fly forever. It also looks at why current air defence cannot stop the swarms, and what drone swarms will mean for the balance of power and future wars. This is the world of Swarm Troopers.…

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. Near Fine. 1st Edition. First American edition. Clean and unmarked. Very slightly spine cocked. Dj lightly rubbed, not price clipped. 402 pages. David Hambling tells the fascinating story of human ingenuity and the complex world it has created-a world at once safer and yet more perilous than ever. Throughout history, war and the threat of war have driven innovation and accelerated the uptake of new technology-from the nomadic warriors who introduced the stirrup and the kebab to the world, to the British Navy's funding of Marconi's newfangled radio. Since 1945 the relationship between military needs and modern business has grown ever closer, especially in the United States. With the skills of a master storyteller, Hambling traces the history of this relationship in the modern era and shows how precision eye surgery emerged out of the military quest for a ''death ray,'' how transistors and silicon chips initially helped build better bombs, and exactly why the 747 has such a distinctive shape. Hambling explores the current cutting edge of modern military research as he seeks to identify the technologies that will transform our lives in the decades to come. Contents: 1. Rocket science : V-2 to E4. 2. Air raids to airliners. 3. Computing : codebreaking to netsurfing. 4. Death rays to DVDs. 5. Ultimate power. 6. Flights of fancy. 7. UFOs and secret technology. 7. The next computing revolution. 8. Non-lethal death rays. 9. Vortex rings. 10. Mach 10 airliners and space tourism. 11. Information warfare. 12. Catching new waves. 13. Robots in the air. 14. Tools for terrorists. 15. Nanotechnology : the future is small.…
