OverviewUnmanned aircraft systems have long held great promise for military operations, but technology has only recently matured enough to exploit that potential. Surveillance and missile-attack operations by unmanned aircraft systems have been well publicised throughout the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
