The first comprehensive technical history of air, land, sea, and underwater unmanned systems, by a distinguished U.S. Navy roboticist.Military drones have recently been hailed as a revolutionary new technology that will forever change the conduct of war. And yet the United States and other countries have been deploying such unmanned military systems for more than a century. Written by a renowned authority in the field, this book documents the forgotten legacy of these pioneering efforts, offering the first comprehensive historical and technical accounting of unmanned air, land, sea, and underwater systems. Focusing on examples introduced during the two world wars, H. R. Everett meticulously traces their development from the midnineteenth century to the early Cold War. A pioneering Navy roboticist, Everett not only describes these systems in detail but also reverseengineers the designs in order to explain how they operated in realworld conditions of the time. More than 500 illustrationsphotographs, drawings, and plans, many of them never before publishedaccompany the text.Everett covers the evolution of early wireguided submersibles, tracing the development of power, propulsion, communication, and control; radiocontrolled surface craft, deployed by both Germany and Great Britain in World War I; radiocontrolled submersibles; radiocontrolled aircraft, including the TDR1 assault drone project in World War IIwhich laid the groundwork for subsequent highly classified drone programs; and remotecontrolled ground vehicles, including the Wehrmacht's Goliath and Borgward demolition carriers.
