It will be interesting to see more and more countries building cheap hi-tech military robotics.<p>This will probably chance the doctrines. In short term I'd guess fighters become more relevant as they are needed to identify large quantities of flying objects. At the same time manned bombers become less relevant. With cruise missiles anything is destroyable. And with surveillance robotics everything is becoming observable.<p>Probably land groups become smaller as they have to try to be "too cheap to attack". It's not economical to send 1,5 million dollar cruise missile to kill five soldiers. How you can organize whole military force to effectively do their jobs, while gatherings of more than 5 people to the same spot is forbidden?<p>I'd guess future camouflage is going to be something that confuses the difference between military and civilian. And decoys are going to be big trend. Something like using artillery to disperse large amounts of heat sources that look like humans to IR-camera.
These drones are useless if you don't have the satellites that control them.
unless they plan on using it only under the satellite that they had recently launched.
