NOTE B from my Kiwi Technical Aide who provided the Bibliography:
“Attached is a reading list about drones. As an introduction I would recommend starting with Byman’s “Why drones work…” and Cronin’s “Why drones fail when tactics drive strategy” published in Foreign Affairs in 2013. These two articles introduce a reader to the pros and cons of using drones, arguments for using them, and arguments against.
The other readings can vary between issues relating to the impacts of targeted killing, their role in the changing nature of warfare, but also technical aspects of drones, including how to track them and strategic risks.
The literature on drones is extensive so this list serves as an introduction.”
