A few disruptive thoughts / Ryan Hilger. - 2013

The US Navy is being urged to adopt unmanned systems (air, surface and underwater) as fast as possible. This competition winning essay argues that this policy has a fundamental flaw: there is not enough information or understanding of the "full range of capabilities, limitations, and implications of unmanned systems". Particular attention should be given to how enemies could use such systems against the US, and from that develop ways to maintain America's advantages.
