This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in this book, which deals with a new perspective on how to use and value unmanned system. Engineering tells how to build things and operations research tells how things should be used. In development of new military hardware, however, engineering nearly always has a head start over operations research. In some systems, centralized human control and cognition may be a much more costly approach, requiring substantially more technological investment, greater manning, and networks with much higher capacity than legacy manned systems. Analyzing this trade space is an area of new growth for operations research. Concurrently and independently, innovations in secure, distributed networking and high‐speed computing, the two most basic building blocks of advanced unmanned systems, began to achieve the commercial successes that made unmanned military vehicles seem more viable as a complement to legacy platforms in the fleet, field, and flight‐line.
