It is not often that a revolution in the conduct of warfare occurs, however the introduction of inexpensive, commercially available unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, to the battlefield is just that. Recent global conflicts have demonstrated the vulnerability of large, armored formations and the threat posed by small UAS. The maneuverability of large, armored formations has always been a challenge when breaching defensive lines, but the current vulnerability to the formation is the inability to effectively counter the rapidly growing UAS threat.
