In this part of the Bulletin, Constant Despont, Dominika Kunertova and Niklas Masuhr look at the military use of drones, which have become an integral part of military operations. At the same time, however, it would be an exaggeration to speak of a military revolution caused by drones. Given the offensive potential of increasing autonomy of the systems, no purely technological solution to drone defense can be expected in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, Despont, Kunertova and Masuhr argue with regard to Switzerland that drones are and will remain a responsibility of the state.
