      • 144 pages
      • 6 hours of reading

      Über das Buch In den letzten 20 Jahren hat die Rolle unbemannter Luftfahrtsysteme in der modernen Kriegsführung in einem bislang nie dagewesenen Ausmaß zugenommen. Drohnen werden nicht mehr nur zur Aufklärung, Datenerfassung oder Erkundung eingesetzt, sondern dienen ebenso der Zielerfassung und dem Angriff auf feindliche Stellungen mit Raketen und Bomben. Gegliedert nach Typen, bietet dieses Buch einen kompakten Leitfaden zu den wichtigsten unbemannten Luftfahrzeugen, die heute in Kampfgebieten eingesetzt werden. Dazu gehören Klassiker wie die bewaffnete MQ-1 Predator, die in erster Linie zur Nachrichtengewinnung eingesetzt wird, die Black Hornet Nano, eine Mikrodrohne, die so klein ist, dass sie in die Handfläche passt und von Bodentruppen zur Situationserkennung eingesetzt wird, sowie die futuristischen unbemannten Kampfflugzeuge wie die XQ-58-Valkyrie und die MQ-28 Ghost Bat, die bemannte Kampfflugzeuge begleiten. Der Autor Alexander Stilwell ist ein anerkannter Autor und Herausgeber, der in den Bereichen Militärgeschichte, Politik und internationale Angelegenheiten tätig war. Er ist der Autor diverser Bücher zu diesen Themen.
