İnsansız hava araçları (İHA) ve silahsız insansız hava araçları (SİHA) günümüzdeki devletler arası ve devlet içi çatışmalarda ön plana çıkmaya başlayan araçlar olmuştur. 2000’lerin başında ABD tarafından sıkça kullanılmaya başlayan bu teknoloji, zamanla İsrail ve İran gibi çatışma alanlarında aktif rol oynayan aktörlerin de ilgisini çekmiştir. 2010’lu yıllarda ise hem teknolojik gelişmeler hem de dünya genelinde ortaya çıkan çok sayıdaki çatışma alanları, bu teknolojiyi birçok aktör için cazip hale getirmiştir. Üretim ve kullanım maliyetleri düşen SİHA teknolojisi farklı aktörler tarafından çatışma alanlarında kullanılan popüler bir araç haline gelmiştir. 2010’lu yıllarda ABD ve Rusya gibi büyük güçlerin yanı sıra Türkiye ve İran gibi orta büyüklükteki güçler ve hatta silahlı devlet dışı aktörlerin adı gerek üretim gerekse kullanım açısından SİHA’larla sıkça anılmıştır. Giderek otonomlaşan ve yapay zekâ ile entegre olan İHA’ların yanı sıra son dönemlerde gelişmeye başlayan insansız kara ve deniz araçları da savaşın dönüşümüne etki etmektedir. Bu bağlamda gelişen, yaygınlaşan ve çok sayıda aktörün rahatlıkla ulaşabildiği SİHA ve diğer insansız savaş araçları, askeri alanda devrimin yeni bir ayağı olma potansiyeline sahiptir.
