Background and Objective: With the transformation of the nature of warfare, advanced armed forces have, for over three decades, implemented fundamental changes in their combat organizational structures and exploited novel technologies to harness the capabilities of unmanned equipment—particularly drones—for executing a multitude of tasks and fulfilling their missions. It is axiomatic that the aerial battle theater cannot and must not disregard the imperative of possessing a codified model for the operational employment of such systems. Accordingly, the objective of this investigation is to design a model for the employment of remotely piloted vehicles in the aerial battle theater.
Methodology: The present study is applied-developmental in terms of its purpose and exploratory in terms of its method. The total statistical population, estimated via a checklist-based approach, comprises 70 individuals; consequently, the sample size is coextensive with the statistical population and employs a complete enumeration technique.
Findings: Through an exploratory study, meticulous and sustained reflection upon the theoretical foundations and extant research literature, and interviews with subject-matter experts, the dimensions, components, and operational items pertaining to the employment of remotely piloted vehicles in the aerial battle theater were identified. These were subsequently evaluated against quintuple criteria, and the influential factors were synthesized and refined, culminating in the formulation of a model for the employment of remotely piloted vehicles in aerial operations.
Conclusion: The research findings substantiate that the design of a model for the employment of remotely piloted vehicles in aerial combat is feasible.
