Unmanned Combat Air Systems in Future Warfare

' ' This book is an excellent and original contribution to the literature. The material is cutting-edge and innovative in the unmanned/remotely piloted literature, taking us out of what has become quite a stale debate on what has come to be called ' drone wars' . It is also original because it addresses the interoperability of different aspects of these systems, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts a point which applies as much to the book as its subject matter. The work is of a rigorous academic standard and well written, making the subject matter accessible despite the degree of specialisation. This is going to remain the standard work on unmanned/remotely piloted combat systems for some time to come and is essential reading for anyone wishing to follow the debate on the strategy of these systems over the coming years.
