New Drone Shadow Strike Technology Could Replace Fighter Jets

In a recent article by CBS News, the United States Military is looking to equip its drones with GPS to avoid collisions. It seems the US military already has plans to implement this, and one of the tests is already in the works and will be released soon. The report states, “The GPS will be added as a standard equipment on every drone. When the Navy ships these [drone} uncrewed aerial vehicles into the future, they’ll have them equipped with a navigation system that will allow them to find their way back to wherever they came from.” So, it’s logical that the military will add this to all its drones once they get them in the field.

Drone Shadow Strike Technology

This GPS would most likely be attached to the drone’s autopilot system. It will give the operator real-time information on the drone’s location – where and how long it will be down for repairs or further surveillance. It makes sense for the military to be prepared for whatever situation it finds itself in. And as our country approaches war, more advanced and effective military tools are needed now than ever. A drone strike may turn into a dogfight between our armed forces and terrorists, and if we don’t have the right tools, we may lose that battle.

So, the GPS will give our military more maneuverability when operating a drone strike. It also allows them to re-orbit and come back to Earth easily. It will enable the military to move as quickly as they wish without worrying about how they will get their target back into position. We all know that drones can move at amazing speeds, which makes the dog fight much more difficult. But the GPS will give our military planners a real-time solution to that problem.

One thing to remember is that the United States has been cautious not to use its new drone technologies for bad purposes. They created the software and the hardware, and it’s strictly regulated, so it won’t be used to kill American citizens. Still, you can expect that we will see more future strikes on American citizens by our enemies. If they feel they can win a dogfight in a remote area using UAVs, they will continue to do so.

But the other possibility is that we may see strikes against targets within the United States. Let’s take the Pakistani approach of targeting known terrorist organization members rather than trying to hunt down random civilians. We may find that the United States is treating al Qaeda and Taliban members differently. They would consider strikes against American citizens as legitimate self-defense measures. While we are in a bitter war with Pakistan, any strikes they engage in inside the United States would surely draw fire from the American public.

Many believe the new drone technology is a state-of-the-art tool that it could someday replace fighter jets. Imagine having a cheap, affordable, reusable, and extremely accurate tool. Well, now we have that in the form of the UAV or remotely piloted aerial vehicle. Using this new tool, we can shoot from the sky and hit a target anywhere inside Pakistan, Afghanistan, or the Indian Ocean. Hopefully, the United States will continue to utilize these tools and stop killing innocent people in foreign conflicts.
