This study explores the tactical impact of drones in infantry military maneuvers through a simulation developed on Unreal Engine, focusing on how drones enhance situational awareness, reduce casualties, and improve mission success rates. The simulation allows players to control an infantry company with various drone types, including reconnaissance, offensive, and loitering (suicide) models. By integrating these drone types, the simulation enables users to observe how drones support tactical maneuvers, mitigate threats, and streamline mission completion in combat scenarios. Results indicate substantial operational benefits, such as reduced casualty rates and higher mission success, due to drones’ preemptive threat detection and engagement capabilities. Drones also accelerated detection and engagement times, emphasizing their role in improving operational efficiency. Limitations include the need for more advanced AI behaviors and a broader range of military units to simulate complex, realistic combat environments. Proposed enhancements include incorporating adaptive AI tactics, diverse unit types, and additional mission scenarios to improve realism. This simulation provides valuable insights into the potential of drones as force multipliers, rein-forcing their strategic role in modern warfare. These findings lay the groundwork for further exploration of drone-based strategies in a realistic military training environment.

摘要

This study explores the tactical impact of drones in infantry military maneuvers through a simulation developed on Unreal Engine, focusing on how drones enhance situational awareness, reduce casualties, and improve mission success rates. The simulation allows players to control an infantry company with various drone types, including reconnaissance, offensive, and loitering (suicide) models. By integrating these drone types, the simulation enables users to observe how drones support tactical maneuvers, mitigate threats, and streamline mission completion in combat scenarios. Results indicate substantial operational benefits, such as reduced casualty rates and higher mission success, due to drones’ preemptive threat detection and engagement capabilities. Drones also accelerated detection and engagement times, emphasizing their role in improving operational efficiency. Limitations include the need for more advanced AI behaviors and a broader range of military units to simulate complex, realistic combat environments. Proposed enhancements include incorporating adaptive AI tactics, diverse unit types, and additional mission scenarios to improve realism. This simulation provides valuable insights into the potential of drones as force multipliers, rein-forcing their strategic role in modern warfare. These findings lay the groundwork for further exploration of drone-based strategies in a realistic military training environment.
