Drones have the potential to serve as force multipliers, to supplement the role of traditional navies and coastguards by operating in tandem with these forces. In this sense, unmanned systems would not replace traditional maritime forces, but rather they would play a complementary role. The necessity to integrate this technology in Africa cannot be understated, especially given the lacking capacity of several African navies. Moreover, this technology is increasingly being used by nefarious actors. This chapter explores how certain African stakeholders, both state and non-state have developed and/or deployed drones in the maritime domain for various uses. The main countries discussed include Seychelles and Nigeria, as well as an assessment of the drone deployment in the Mediterranean Sea. Leading from this, the focus is on the ways in which non-state actors have deployed drones in the maritime environment. To sum up the chapter, the discussion revolves around the future trends, opportunities and implications of drone development and deployment in Africa’s maritime domain.
