Military drones have been part of wars for more than 100 years. Today’s military unmanned aerial vehicles are packed with sensors, high-quality cameras, and even weapons. With each UAV flight, military members are kept safe away from war zones. Young readers will learn how both aerial and underwater military drones operate and get inside details about some of the missions they’ve completed.
"Accompanied by color photographs, each book describes several types of drones, discussing their form, function, and mechanical systems. Multiple sidebars provide additional information without cluttering the layout." - Nonfiction Notes from the Horn Book
