The war has demonstrated that military advantage comes not from the best drone, but from an adaptive innovation ecosystem that integrates technology, human judgment, industry, doctrine, and battlefield feedback to continuously improve capabilities.Learning Outcomes
- Explain why the effectiveness of military drones depends on integration within broader operational systems.
- Assess the role of human judgment, trust, and autonomy in unmanned systems, and evaluate why human-machine teaming may be more effective than fully autonomous operations in combat environments.
- Analyse how innovation ecosystems contribute to military advantage.
