Arrival of new book
By Upendra Arora
The Natraj Publishers, Dehradun, on Sunday announced the launch of the new book *’Swarm Troopers’* by David Hambling..
Advances in Technology have set the stage for a major shift in wars and intelligence gathering. Drones – cheap and plentiful – are poised to support and, in some cases, supplant current weapons, at a fraction of the cost.
How can small drones with limited battery life stay in the air long enough to achieve anything on a strategic scale? And how can anything so small make an impact? Not everyone is convinced.
But with the new technology that allows drones to draw energy from the environment and swarms of thousands of drones acting together, their impact is anything but small. The new technology, as in the case of the Russia-Ukraine war, is making small drones into true engines of destruction.
The high cost of military aircraft, the rise of biometric technology and advances in the science of swarming behaviour – all these are leading the world to a future where the drone rules the skies.
This book will show you what the future looks like and explore whether or not we’ll be ready for both the opportunities and threats it may bring.
The author is an acclaimed military technology expert based in London. A truly enlightening book no one can afford to ignore.
