Abstract

In the 21^st century, unmanned systems (especially unmanned aerial vehicles) will play a dominant role in the operational fields. Thanks to the technological developments witnessed in many fields, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for military purposes is becoming easier. Looking at the operations carried out over the last 25 years, it can be seen that most were conducted in residential areas, where and techniques, tactics and equipment with asymmetric effects will make significant differences. In addition to this, the more loss of life in operations, the more governments come under pressure from the public. Taking these factors into consideration, it is believed that unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be used to increase dominance in operations and prevent loss of life, will be used more often and more effectively in the future. It is also believed that unmanned aerial vehicles will be used as assault media in both residential areas and in other operational environments in order to take advantage of the high level asymmetric effect.
