Abstract
In this paper, we explore previous military revolutions to develop a potential theory of unmanned warfare that pivots away from range or maneuver (two of the dominant characteristics of current discussions about unmanned advantages) and focuses instead on force protection and risk in competition and mass and economic cost in conflict. Mitigating economic cost helps create mass and increase firepower while mitigating political cost allows states to use weapon systems without disenfranchising domestic populations (important for post levee en masse conflicts where the American public is less tolerant of US casualties, or in escalating conflicts with adversaries willing to sustain costs over time).
