The Strategic Advantage of Unmanned Systems Drones offer a asymmetric advantage that reshapes strategic calculations across every domain of military operations. They separate the sensor from the decision-maker, allowing commanders to gather intelligence and conduct operations without placing personnel at risk. This changes the risk calculus fundamentally—missions that would be deemed too dangerous for manned aircraft become acceptable when conducted remotely. The economic equation is equally compelling. A single advanced fighter jet costs $80-150 million and requires years of training for...
