Book Description

This book focuses on the present threat posed by terrorist and insurgent use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as well as associated future threat potentials. It also presents a counterintuitive analysis in the sense that armed drones are typically viewed as a component of America's conventional warfighting prowess--not a technology that would be used against U.S. troops deployed overseas or against civilians back home. The emerging threat of such UAV use against us is investigated, and the unique analysis and creative approach related to the threat scenario variants generated are very informative. Undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in homeland security, military science, warfare studies, and criminal justice may be interested in this volume. U.S. Army soldiers and sister organizations may also find value in this publication.
