Dans la guerre, les drones ont plusieurs fonctions.

Les héros de guerre prennent la forme de pilotes de drones

L’augmentation de l’usage des drones a engendré l’apparition d’une nouvelle classe de combattants : les pilotes de drones de guerre. Le succès des opérations militaires dépend en grande partie de ces opérateurs, souvent basés à des milliers de kilomètres du champ de bataille.

Certains pilotes, en réalisant des frappes impressionnantes, deviennent des figures emblématiques, affectant directement les résultats des guerres. Dans les conflits modernes, le courage ne se vérifie plus uniquement sur le front, mais aussi dans la stratégie et l’habileté des pilotes de drones.

Des drones civils exploités dans un contexte militaire

De nombreux drones, en particulier ceux de la marque DJI (comme le Mavic ou le Phantom), sont souvent employés pour des missions de reconnaissance ou même d’attaque. Ces appareils, devenus des bombardiers improvisés grâce aux charges explosives fixées par les combattants, sont redoutables.

La simplicité d’utilisation et la performance des caméras intégrées les rendent indispensables pour le renseignement et la direction des tirs d’artillerie. Ces drones, cependant, sont souvent affectés par des contre-mesures électroniques, comme le brouillage ou le piratage.

Les drones militaires : un élément révolutionnaire dans les tactiques de guerre modernes

La stratégie militaire a été redéfinie par l’essor des drones. Les grandes puissances militaires innovent avec des modèles de plus en plus performants, qui peuvent réaliser des missions de reconnaissance, de frappe et de soutien aux troupes au sol.

En tant que drone de combat, le MQ-9 Reaper est utilisé pour des frappes de précision. Utilisé dans des conflits récents, notamment en Ukraine et au Haut-Karabakh, le Bayraktar TB2 est un drone turc célèbre. Utilisé dans les conflits au Moyen-Orient et en Europe de l’Est, le Shahed-136 est un drone kamikaze iranien.

Ces drones permettent aux forces armées d’atteindre des cibles distantes avec une précision redoutable, réduisant ainsi les risques pour les pilotes.

Les drones et leur influence sur les guerres futures

Un futur où les drones joueront un rôle encore plus majeur se dessine avec l’évolution rapide de la technologie. On note l’arrivée de drones autonomes, intégrant une intelligence artificielle, qui peuvent prendre des décisions sans l’intervention d’un humain.

En opérant de manière coordonnée, des centaines d’unités en essaims de drones pourraient bouleverser les approches militaires. Par ailleurs, la miniaturisation des dispositifs technologiques pourrait conduire à l’émergence de drones de plus en plus compacts et discrets, rendant leur détection et leur neutralisation plus ardues.

Les drones FPV et kamikazes prennent de l’ampleur

Une caractéristique importante de ces dernières années est l’usage de drones FPV (First Person View) modifiés pour transporter des explosifs. Grâce à des lunettes de réalité virtuelle, ces petits drones, souvent basés sur des modèles civils modifiés, sont massivement utilisés en Ukraine. Des armes redoutables pour les missions tactiques, grâce à leur coût réduit et leur efficacité.

Ces drones sont souvent égarés après l’attaque, car ils sont pensés comme des armes à usage unique. Ces appareils, grâce à leur simplicité, peuvent être manœuvrés par des soldats sans formation avancée en pilotage sur le champ de bataille.

Retranscription des paroles de la vidéo: (dramatic music) (gun blasting) – [Narrator] The US Military has launched a new school to train American Armed Forces in how to counter the emerging threat of drones or what it calls Unmanned Aircraft Systems or UAS. The first academy of its kind, The Joint Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems University or JCU will train about 1,000 troops a year. – Warfare is changing very fast. This threat right here, this current threat with respect to UAS, it’s the pace of your phone changing. (drone clicking) (dramatic music) (drone buzzing) – [Narrator] This footage is from a Ukrainian drone attack carried out against Russian forces, and this video is from a Hamas drone attack in November carried out against Israeli forces in Gaza. The proliferation of small, cheap, commercially available drones is transforming modern warfare and this has not been lost on the Pentagon. (gun clicking) (gun blasting) Colonel Moseph Sauda is the director of the JCU. – The pace of the need is outgrowing capacity right now, so we’re trying to train as many people as possible and trying to grow as fast as possible to fit that need. – [Narrator] Today, students at Fort Sill are training on weapons systems to counter small unmanned aircraft. (gun blasting) – Alright, so what we have in front of us here is what’s known as the Smart Shooter, what the name implies is what it does. Alright, so the Smart Shooter itself is a smart optic that is placed onto the M4 weapon system to allow the soldier a better opportunity to engage small UAS threats that are very close. (dramatic music) (gun blasting) – [Narrator] Smartshooter training does involve drones, but students don’t shoot directly at them. (gun blasting) Instead, they shoot at balloons dangling below the drones on a string. The JCU said, « Balloons are more cost effective, and thinks the high winds in Oklahoma are a harder target to hit. (gun blasting) – [Instructor] Nice. – So the soldier would place the weapon into operation the way they do for any other situation. From that point there, you would look through the optic, which would acquire the target for you, in which case the soldier would pull the trigger and the rest of is done by the weapon system. (gun blasting) – [Instructor] Nice. – [Narrator] The students are also learning how to use another handheld system, the Dronebuster. – Whereas the Smart Shooter utilizes the 556 round, this is known as an electronic attack system, so a soldier’s taking this here and they’re pointed in a general direction of the target that they see. And then a soldier placed in an operation utilize various jamming means to interdict that target. – [Narrator] The JCU says, « These weapons systems and others like them are already in the hands of US forces around the world. » – It’s not just the Air Force anymore that is using unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, it is also ground forces, and every echelon have different types of drones that provide them with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, as well as targeting, and sometimes strike capabilities. – [Narrator] Before the JCU was created, soldiers who trained on anti-drone weapon systems did so within their own branches. – The Joint Counter UAS University, the intent here is to standardize and centralize the training so that we can all have interoperability as we work together and integrate the system successfully with respect to the threat – [Narrator] Training typically lasts between one to three weeks. Students are selected by their commanders, but some volunteer to attend. – As far as branches of Military coming through the JCU, we are seeing service members from all branches. We also train federal agencies as well as allied and partner nations. – [Narrator] In the years following the September 11th attacks, the US deployed large, sophisticated, expensive drones for surveillance and strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The first time commercial drones were used in a conflict was in Iraq. When ISIS deployed the technology in the battle for Mosul, – ISIS began to modify small quadcopters and use them to attack Iraqi and US forces. And this presented an unprecedented challenge. – [Narrator] In recent years, civilian drones modified with explosives have become a growing menace for troops in Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine. – Drones are fundamentally changing the way that militaries fight. They are allowing different states to perform missions that previously were too expensive. Having an Air Force on the cheap, for example. – [Narrator] Many of the small drones being used in combat today in Ukraine come from one Chinese company, DGI. DGI drones aren’t made to fire weapons, but they can be easily modified to carry a grenade or other small explosive. Last year, DGI said, « It would stop selling its drones to Ukraine and Russia because the technology was not intended to be used for military activities – In Ukraine, you’ve seen just an explosion of commercial and do-it-yourself drones on a level that has never been seen before. Both parties are employing them at all echelons. The Ukrainians were the first movers here and you’ve seen them move into first-person view drones, these small, fast quadcopters that are essentially kamikazes and crash into their target. – [Narrator] Students at Fort Sill are also training for an emerging threat, drone swarms, the term refers to a network of multiple unmanned aerial flying platforms integrated together by a single system. – We have the ability to replicate drone swarms here, and this is very important because as a student, you’ll have a realistic appraisal of the difficulties that these different platforms present, but also you’ll have an understanding of the capabilities of what you’re utilizing to neutralize that threat. – [Narrator] Given how rapidly drone technology is developing, the Pentagon believes there’s no single weapon system that can be relied upon. – You’re really in a cost competition because so many of the drones are very cheap today, that you don’t wanna be firing something that is much more expensive to intercept and destroy them. – There is no silver bullet when it comes to counter UAS. So there is no one system that is most effective. Commanders have to determine, based off of planning factors, which system is best to be utilized against the threat. And so what we want to do is make sure we use a layered approach, using multiple systems planning against that in different environments, don’t look for one way out. You want to create multiple dilemmas, which then makes it difficult for the adversary to develop means to defeat what you’re putting together. (dramatic music) (drone buzzing) .
