This book provides an insightful introduction to the most important
field of military innovation for the 21st century-robotic and drone
weaponry. For centuries, warring nations have sought to lower the
risk to highly vulnerable humans on the battlefield, typically by
providing protective armor, making soldiers' positions more
difficult to detect, or by striking from locations safe from
retaliation. Autonomous weaponry has now reached the point where
robotic systems can perform some key tasks that previously required
direct human involvement. Military Robots and Drones: A Reference
Handbook introduces the lay person to a highly specialized topic,
providing the foundation necessary for further study in this field.
Appropriate for high school and college-level students, as well as
general readers with an interest in the topic, the author explains
the many military applications of robotics as well as current
limitations and disadvantages. The book also provides a general
history of robotic warfare; examines key individuals, agencies,
documents, and models; discusses controversies within the field of
robotic and drone warfare, such as ethical considerations; and
explains how increased reliance on robotics has affected the
structure and strategy of the military. A chronology of important
events in robotic technology A detailed bibliography on the latest
sources related to this innovative technology
