Drones and Robotics. A Great Encyclopedia

This great encyclopedia is dedicated to the latest technical devices created by human genius — unmanned systems and robotic complexes designed to perform specialized tasks in extreme conditions. The book extensively presents reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicles, special robotic... ground complexes, and armored vehicles from developers around the world, which have changed not only the current understanding of conducting military operations but also the foundations of military doctrine. Comprehensive information is provided about each modern drone — as autonomous or remotely controlled devices are called these days — with descriptions of combat and auxiliary robots accompanied by colorful illustrations and technological diagrams, their tactical and technical characteristics are given, and the prerequisites for their creation and real application are discussed. Additionally, the structural elements of these super-technological systems are examined in detail: onboard sensors, armament, navigation devices, and much more. The publication will interest not only specialists in the field of robotics but also all who are passionate about military affairs, visually demonstrating how electronic fighters operate today on the battlefields.
