TRENDS Study Reveals How Drones are Revolutionizing Warfare Tactics

A recent study by TRENDS Research and Advisory highlights the transformative impact of drones on modern battlefields. The English-language study, titled “The Golden Age of Drones: Military UAV Strategic Issues and Tactical Developments,” is authored by Pierre Boussel, a French researcher and associate fellow at the Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS), France. It explains how the war in Ukraine marks a turning point in the use of drones, which have become essential assets for both warring parties.

The study indicates that the effectiveness of drones has prompted many armies to reconsider their combat doctrines to better regulate cooperation between soldiers and machines. It anticipates that future drones will witness significant advancements in terms of size, maneuverability, autonomous flight, firepower, and the ability to return to base after completing tasks.

Additionally, the study outlines how the use of drones varies according to battlefield terrain. Drones are particularly effective in monitoring enemy movements and logistical boundaries in desert areas, and they provide critical intelligence support in rugged mountainous regions. However, drones are less effective in densely populated urban areas. Despite this limitation, they play a significant role in conventional warfare by providing infantry support and accurately identifying enemy positions.

The study also warns that non-governmental armed groups are increasingly utilizing drones for both intelligence gathering and offensive purposes. It concludes that drones will undoubtedly be major assets on future battlefields, and predicts a fierce race between countries and companies to develop and produce the most effective drones.
