Advances in military drone technologies

In recent years, military drone technologies have undergone accelerated development driven by the need to improve efficiency and precision in defense and security operations. This paper describes the most recent advances in technologies that contribute to the better performance of drones in the execution of their military tasks, addressing the participation of artificial intelligence systems, autonomy capabilities, and improvements in sensors for drones in tactical and strategic missions. Technological advances have driven a significant increase in operational capability and reduced risks for military personnel, thanks to drone technologies with greater autonomy and accuracy. Advances in this area are redefining the landscape of modern military activity and pose new challenges regarding ethical regulations and autonomous arms control, suggesting the need for a robust and up-to-date international regulatory framework.
