Drones: technology, military and strategic impact

The term "unmanned aircraft" refers to an aircraft that is controlled remotely, sometimes even autonomously. This has been encounteredThe term a lot of criticism; Because the plane is led from a distance by a ground pilot, and he is the one who takes care of preventing it from falling. So it is desirable to takereferred to as “unmanned aircraft” or “unmanned aircraft systems”. Some people also use the name "Drones".According to its English source Drones), which is taken from the name of the male bee; Where this emerged during the Second World War1939-1945, when these planes were distinguished by black bands placed along the tail of each of them, to look like male bees
Drones are classified in terms of shape into three forms:
Fixed wings.
(Remotely Piloted Helicopter)

Despite the developments in the field of unmanned aircraft, it is still facing various technical and technical problems, which have caused it to suffer
Lots of accidents. Reports issued by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) in 2010 revealed that thirty-eight were destroyed
Unmanned aircraft, "Predator" and "Reaper", during the operations of the US Army, in both Afghanistan and Iraq,
And nine other aircraft, during training operations in the United States. The causes of these and similar incidents are attributed to a number of factors
Reasons, including the following (13):
Airplanes were shot down, human and operational errors were committed, and they could not be tracked.
Design defects and processing errors.
The unreliability of the information received from local clients in the targeting areas.
Bad weather, such as clouds and rain
