BLUF

Combatants exposed to repeated drone attacks change their daily patterns of activity to avoid detection. These behaviours reveal a psychological vulnerability that drones can exploit through routine exposure, with drones shaping the cognitive battlespace.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explore the psychological impact drones are having on war-fighters.
  • Consider this new sense of vulnerability where drones have become a recognised source of post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Understand that the psychological impact of drones could possibly out-weight their lethality.
