Un nuevo trabajo de CSBA (Center of Strategic and Burgetary Assessment) desarrolla el rol clave que tienen los UAV´s en las operaciones militares actuales y futuras, para la implementación del nuevo concepto de “disuasión por detección”. La Acción de vigilancia permanente empleando drones, aún con aeronaves no sigilosas sobre los movimientos del oponente, tiene un poderoso efecto desalentador, al dificultar el empleo de uno de los principios vitales para la conducción de las operaciones militares, como es “la sorpresa”.
Executive Summary
In an era of renewed great power competition, one of the most significant challenges the United States and its allies face is the need to deny China or Russia the ability to launch opportunistic acts of aggression against an ally or partner in the Western Pacific or Eastern Europe. This report proposes a “deterrence by detection” operational concept to deter Chinese and Russian aggression, one that uses a network of existing non-stealthy long- endurance unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to maintain real-time, persistent situational awareness in key geographic areas in the Western Pacific and Eastern Europe.
Background
China and Russia are developing the ability to launch aggression rapidly against states on their periphery under the cover of increasingly capable reconnaissance-strike networks. The geographic friction points in the Western Pacific and Eastern Europe that are most likely to devolve into crisis and conflict lie much closer to Russia and China than they do to the continental United States. With only limited warning, Beijing or Moscow could exploit their time-distance advantage to seize allied territory before the United States and its allies could respond, thereby creating a fait accompli that would be difficult to reverse after the fact.
