Abstract

This article assesses the significance of remotely piloted air systems (RPAS), a salient new form of air power, in the earliest, most promising, interventionary scenarios addressing the intractable dilemmas of low-intensity conflict in failing or failed states. There are good reasons to suppose that RPASs are valuable, beyond their growing support functions for all military operations, in numerous aspects of interventions aimed at mitigating stability, especially in determinedly discreet concert with Special Forces (SF) and local allies.
