Todor Koritarov

Abstract

The study examines unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the maritime domain(s) and their impact on the country's sea power. The text highlights the history and evolution of UAVs, their applications in various industries, and their use in naval operations. The study's research question is, "What are the specific ways in which UAVs are transforming maritime security, and what are the implications of this transformation for the country's sea power?" The text discusses the challenges posed by the rapid advancement of unmanned aerial vehicles and the security concerns associated with the growing presence of drones in the airspace.The text concludes with a discussion of the impact of drones on a nation's sea power, which includes protecting maritime resources, securing maritime pathways of communication, and projecting power beyond its borders.
