solution to seep out of internal reservoirs and breakdown ice that forms on the wings during flight.

C l iConclusion
D th f t f d ill d fDrones are the future of unmanned surveillance and warfare
Different types and sizes of drones yield different mission-specific results as well as different cost-effectiveness specific results as well as different cost effectiveness outcomes
Currently, the military at large will continue to place orders for small drones like the raven, while more specialized missions, such as those conducted by the DoD or CIA require a more heavy-duty drone
Each type of drone will find its place in an evolving technological, political, and economic battlefield
