Its independence was more than a half century away. As the...

ISBN: 9781472806222 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the Cold War, the Soviet Army was perhaps the deadliest fighting force the world had ever seen.

By extending the role of UAVs beyond simply intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations and into a dual-role with networking operations we can better utilize our information assets. To achieve the goal of dual-role UAVs, a concrete approach to planning must be taken....
