Long Time Coming: Developing and Integrating UAVs into the American, British, French, and Danish Armed Forces

Abstract

NATOs medlemslande er i gang med at transformere deres militære styrker så de effektivt kan deltage i internationale missioner. De indfører avanceret teknologier der gør det muligt for militære styrker at finde og præcist angribe mål fra stor afstand med lille risiko for dem selv. Ubemandede flys (UAV) udholdenhed repræsenterer det næste skridt i moderne luftmagts langtrækkende rekognoscerings- og præcisionsmidler og har ændret landoperationer. Der var ingen efterspørgsel efter disse UAV før de viste deres værd i nyere tids militære operationer efter 60 års udvikling. Erfaringer fra USA, Storbritannien, Frankrig og Danmark viser dette. UAV’er har været udfordrende at udvikle, indsætte operativt, vedligeholde og integrere i moderne militære styrker og har ikke før for nyligt vist sig som effektive systemer. Disse udfordringer bør dulme forventninger om at UAV er billige alternativer til alle former for moderne fly eller at deres udbredelse vil have grundlæggende og systematisk indflydelse på krigsførelsens udvikling
