Cheap, autonomous drones developed in Ukraine are driving a new era of drone-on-drone warfare. The post The Rise of Autonomous Drone Warfare appeared first on EE Times .
The proliferation of cheap, autonomous drone technology, particularly refined in conflicts like Ukraine, has reached a critical mass, enabling new forms of warfare.
This development indicates a fundamental shift in military capabilities, lowering barriers to entry for advanced tactical operations and reshaping strategic defense planning.
Warfare is becoming increasingly decentralized and accessible, with autonomous systems able to execute complex tasks previously requiring highly skilled human operators.
