Summary/Abstract: In the current geopolitical context, where armed conflicts are increasingly based on technological superiority, drones represent a determining factor in gaining strategic advantage. The rapid evolution of this field requires states to invest heavily in autonomous systems and AI-integrated solutions to remain competitive on the battlefield. Romania, for example, has modernized its UAV fleet by acquiring advanced drones, thus strengthening its defense capabilities. The future of warfare will increasingly depend on the ability to integrate drones into combat structures, maximizing attack efficiency and reducing risks for military personnel. Therefore, understanding this field is not just a technological necessity but also a strategic imperative for national and global security.
