Below the radar : examining a small state's usage of tactical unmanned aerial vehicles/ Stefan Borg - 2020

The paper makes an empirical contribution to the study of tactical UAVs. It examines the Swedish UAV program, which is in certain ways representative of a smaller state's efforts to incorporate UAVs into its armed forces. The paper argues that it is crucial to think in terms of systems rather than the UAV as a free-standing resource to be used on its own. If utilized along with other ISR assets, tactical UAVs may have a significant role to play in asymmetric conflicts.
