| 摘要： | It should not be surprising that Israel has become a leader in military innovation given the demands of national security. Among the technologies that it has advanced are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Even though other nations have conducted experiments with these vehicles, Israel developed and fielded them as battlefield systems. UAVs are non-rocket-propelled aircraft that fly within the atmosphere and do not require humans on board to operate them. With aerodynamic features that enable them to lift and carry lethal as well as nonlethal payloads, unmanned aerial vehicles perform missions such as reconnaissance, command and control, and deception. They are not intended to replace air crews but to augment them for certain missions. UAVs are relatively simple and sturdy, taking off and landing conventionally under the control of rated pilots located on the ground. They are sometimes preprogrammed and range in design from modern aircraft to missiles. Israel and America have invested heavily in these vehicles because of their combat performance, versatility, and low cost; thus UAVs are entering a new phase in their development. Given the fact that Israel has fought six wars and is engaged in counterterrorist operations of major proportions at present, its defense officials can employ UAVs across a range of missions. Advocates are optimistic because of the advent of lightweight composite structures, reliable digital flight control systems, miniaturized sensors, and strong data links. This article reviews the history of Israel's use of UAVs in military operations; how the UAV industry started in Israel, including the companies pioneering their production and early models; the UAV's qualifications as force multipliers; the advantages of using UAVs on the battlefield; the role of UAVs in theater missile defense, counterterrorism, and urban warfare; UAV limitations; and foreign military sales of UAVs from Israel to other countries. |
