Abstract

The drone or unmanned aerial vehicle has many operational advantages, the main one being that it can reduce the combatant's exposure to enemy fire. Initially designed for intelligence gathering, the UAV's range of missions is gradually widening to include all those of manned aircraft. Yet its limitations, the need to maintain contact with the adversary & its acquisition cost suggest that the airman is not about to quit his cockpit. Adapted from the source document.
