Abstract:
Historian and systems engineer Lars Celander examines the impact of drones on modern warfare, detailing their navigation, communication, sensors, and weaponry. Drones have revolutionized ground combat, as seen in Azerbaijan’s 2020 victory over Armenia and Ukraine’s large-scale drone use since 2022. They enable precise strikes, reconnaissance, and artillery targeting with minimal risk to soldiers. While some are piloted, others operate autonomously. Despite their effectiveness, drone technology is still in its infancy, comparable to early aircraft in WWI. Celander explores drone capabilities, counter-drone tactics, and their evolving role in future warfare.
