Warfare Reimagined: How Drones Are Shaping The African Battlespaces -- Towards A General Theory Of Unmanned Systems: A Critical Review Of Drone Typology -- Ruling The Skies: The Geopolitics Of Drone Proliferation In Africa -- Lethal Yet Limited: Evaluating Male Drones In Sub-Saharan Africa's Conflict Zones -- France's Involvement In Drone Warfare In Mali -- Exploring The Securitisation Of Drones In The South African MilitaryAn Eye Above The Water's Surface - Drones In The African Maritime Domain -- Unmanned Aerial Systems And Violent Non-State Actors In Africa: Proliferation, Adaptation And Use -- Researching Drones In African Battlespaces - Broader Implications And Policy Recommendations.

This book, a collaborative endeavour by experts from various disciplines, meticulously investigates the increasing reliance on drones in conflicts across Africa, delving into their geopolitical, tactical, and ethical ramifications. By emphasising African perspectives, it examines the distinct dynamics of the region, highlighting the interactions between state actors, non-state actors, and external powers. The contributions explore the proliferation of armed and unarmed drones and their deployment by violent non-state actors alongside the rise of indigenous drone manufacturing. Topics include counterterrorism, sovereignty, and regional stability. The analysis is enriched with in-depth case studies, offering a nuanced understanding of the tactical, operational, and strategic implications of drones in African battlespaces. The book underscores the potential of drones to address Africa's unique security challenges, such as irregular warfare and porous borders, while also raising ethical concerns related to surveillance, civilian casualties, and dual-use technologies. Drones in the African battlespaces provide a timely, comprehensive examination of how unmanned systems are reshaping warfare and security across the continent, inviting policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to critically engage with the implications of this technological shift for Africa's future.
