A reflection on the development of this unique and mysterious technology, revealing how it has changed combat through the years and speculating on its potential to transform the nature of warfare in the future.
Steven J. Zaloga has worked as an analyst in the
aerospace industry for over two decades, covering missile systems
and the international arms trade, and has served with the Institute
for Defense Analyses, a federal think-tank. He is the author of
numerous books on military technology and military history.
Hugh Johnson is a highly experienced freelance digital
illustrator. His previous books include New Vanguard 102: T-54 and
T-55 Main Battle Tanks 1944–2004 and New Vanguard 117: Jeeps
1941–45. He lives in Surrey, UK.
"Author Zaloga along with some superb photographs and the illustrations of Ian Palmer, tells the story of these vehicles from their earliest inception to the current range of vehicles to those being developed for the future. A story that has really just begun and is as fascinating today as it was when first developed. A book I know you will find interesting and informative. Highly recommended along with all of Osprey's titles in this series." --Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness (October 2008) "...offers a detailed survey of the design, development and history of warfare machinery through the ages. From the early development of the technology to how it has changed combat over the years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is an excellent addition to military libraries, as is any other series title from Osprey." --Midwest Book Review (January 2009)
