Abstract
This paper proposes a study to provide an overview of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), what role they are currently playing, and how they might be used in the future. In order to assess the future trend of such military hardware, a critical review of the relevant literature is followed by the administration of a survey form to determine the social acceptability and military implications of such unmanned vehicles being used in lieu of human soldiers in the future. An analysis of the statistical data is followed by a narrative description of the findings and recommendations for the future.
From the Paper
"As the United States continues to wage a prolonged and costly regional war in the Middle East, there is growing concern among many observers in the military and legislature who contend the country is stretching its resources too thinly, and any eruption of hostilities in other parts of the world such as North Korea or Indonesia, for instance, would surely be disastrous. Adding further impetus to these worries are the growing casualty lists of American soldiers who are being killed by unseen and mostly unknown assailants. In this environment, then, any military tool that allows troops to remain out of harm?s way while gathering the essential intelligence required to prosecute an effective ground war must be viewed as a step in the right direction."

Abstract
The writer of this paper details the large gap between what terrorists can do and how legitimate armies respond to terrorist actions. The writer contends and explains why the main goal of terrorist organizations are to destroy fighting units and lower the morale of citizens around the world. This paper examines the difference between terror and crime while citing the importance of labeling terrorism as warfare. This paper details the manner in which armies have had to alter their operations when dealing with terrorist organizations. The writer illustrates the emergence of terrorism which grew with the end of WWII. The writer delves into the issue of North Korea, which could be labeled as a terrorist nation, due to its nuclear capability. This paper also details the various offensive tactics available to the U.S army to combat terror, by way of technology and weapons. One useful vehicle in combating terror is the UCAV, Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle. This vehicle is essentially a fighter and bomber drone, that costs less to manufacture than manned fighters. Another example of warfare equipment is the Land Warrior, which is a digital system for infantrymen that combines a portable computer, GPS location finding equipment, laser range finder and communications network access.

From the Paper
"While the Vietnam war was an example to the American people, if not also the military, of how not to conduct a war in the age of terrorism, the Gulf War "was a supreme example of the power of superior technology. It was indeed the first war where, as one scholar puts it, 'brilliant munitions arrived'." But it was not a complete exercise in total war. It still pitted large masses of men and heavy munitions against each other on open ground. It looked much like a World War II battle, except for the equipment. Shortly after it, one critic noted, "America's fighting forces are still organized and armed to fight hard, fierce battles from fixed bases against an enemy that no longer really exists." The current war in the same region is proving that insight to be more accurate than not. In 2001, immediately after the terrorist attacks on New York City, Hinkle wrote that the nature of foreign threats was changing."
