Different types and sizes of drones yield different mission- -

outcomes

Currently, the military at large will continue to place ordersfor small drones like the raven, while more specializedmissions, such as those conducted by the DoD or CIA require amore heavy-duty drone

Each type of drone will find its place in an evolvingtechnological, political, and economic battlefield
