Who will be the next drone superpower?In the battle for the\nstreets of Mosul in Iraq, drones in the hands of ISIS terrorists made life\nhell for the Iraq army and civilians. Today, defense companies are racing to\ndevelop the lasers, microwave weapons, and technology necessary for\nconfronting the next drone threat. Seth J. Frantzman takes the reader from the\nmidnight exercises with Israel’s elite drone warriors, to the CIA headquarters\nwhere new drone technology was once adopted in the 1990s to hunt Osama bin\nLaden. This rapidly expanding technology could be used to target nuclear power\nplants and pose a threat to civilian airports. In the Middle East, the US used\na drone to kill Iranian arch-terrorist Qasem Soleimani, a key Iranian\ncommander. Drones are transforming the battlefield from Syria to Libya and\nYemen. For militaries and security agencies—the main users of expensive\ndrones—the UAV market is expanding as well; there were more than 20,000\nmilitary drones in use by 2020. Once the province of only a few militaries,\ndrones now being built in Turkey, China, Russia, and smaller countries like\nTaiwan may be joining the military drone market. It’s big business, too—$100\nbillion will be spent over the next decade on drones. Militaries may soon be\nspending more on drones than tanks, much as navies transitioned away from\ngiant vulnerable battleships to more agile ships. The future wars will be\nfought with drones and won by whoever has the most sophisticated technology.\nRead more\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","published_at":"2022-11-09T02:20:50+11:00","created_at":"2022-11-09T02:20:52+11:00","vendor":"Bombardier Books","type":"Computer Science","tags":["industrial"],"price":15400,"price_min":15400,"price_max":15400,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42017368768692,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"1642936758","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Drone Wars: Pioneers, Killing Machines, Artificial Intelligence, and the Battle for the Future Hardcover","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":15400,"weight":470,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1642936758.jpg?v=1667977261"],"featured_image":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1642936758.jpg?v=1667977261","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Drone Wars: Pioneers, Killing Machines, Artificial Intelligence, and the Battle for the Future Hardcover ","id":27765814395060,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.663,"height":499,"width":331,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1642936758.jpg?v=1667977261"},"aspect_ratio":0.663,"height":499,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/1642936758.jpg?v=1667977261","width":331}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eDrone Wars: Pioneers, Killing Machines, Artificial Intelligence, and the Battle for the Future\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eDrones are transforming warfare through the use of artificial intelligence,\ndrone swarms, and surveillance—leading to competition between the US, China,\nIsrael, and Iran.
