Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the most dynamic field of aerospace technology, and have only emerged from the shadows
recently, despite having been in use for decades. After some limited use in World War II, UAVs emerged as substitutes for
manned reconnaissance aircraft in missions deemed too dangerous to risk an aircrew. This book examines the development of
UAV technology and speculates on its future potential. Packed with rare, recently declassified photographs and detailed full-colour
cutaways, this title goes on to investigate the deployment of UAVs, from early Israeli airforce use to their current role
over Iraq and Afghanistan today.
