Description

Swarm Troopers: How Small Drones Will Conquer the World By David Hambling, published by Archangel Ink in 2015. The use of small unmanned aircraft is transforming warfare, with hand-launched scouts and lethal tactical drones already being used by military forces. A new revolution is underway, driven by advances in swarming software and smartphone technology, which enables a single operator to control large numbers of drones at a relatively low cost. This book explores the history of drone warfare, the rise of big drones like the Predator, and how they are being eclipsed by smaller unmanned aircraft. The future of drone warfare is being shaped by miniaturised munitions, energy-harvesting technology that allows small drones to fly forever, and smartphone technology that makes them affordable for anyone to build. The book also examines why current air defence systems cannot stop swarms of drones and what this means for the balance of power in future wars.
