A Timeline of Military Robots and Drones

Starting with the first experimental drones in the 1960s, the book walks through a timeline of key milestones that led to today's sophisticated unmanned aircraft. It explains how modern drone pilots can locate and strike targets on the other side of the world, and how the increasing reliance on these machines is reshaping combat tactics and strategy. Along the way, the author also addresses the ethical and strategic questions that arise as robots take on more front-line roles.
