The main driver for this evolution is technology and ideas. Radical changes in technology together with new doctrines have transformed the military and caused new phases in conducting war. For instance, the Blitzkrieg which depended on the extensive use of tanks during World War II tore down the old concepts of the prior world war.2 Similarly, the widespread use of the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) on the battlefield has created a new era. The latest example of this proposal is the conflict sought in Syria. The Syrian conflict is one of the latest multi-actor conflicts in the world. It is also an arena for testing the most recent military technology. A group of Turkish armed RPAS destroyed Russian made air defence systems in the first days of March 2020 in Idlib province, Syria.3 It was an example of how a prey hunted its hunter. It was also one of the first examples of a simultaneous armed RPAS group attack. RPAS was used instead of air force because of the restrictions against manned aircraft in Syrian airspace. As in that example, improved technology together with an original doctrine creates a new dynamic on the battlefield. In this context, this paper will demonstrate how RPAS has affected modern warfare as a result of its novel qualifications. 1 Richard A. Gabriel and Karen S. Metz, From Sumer to Rome: The Military Capabilities of Ancient Armies (London: Greenwood Press, 1991), 2. 2 William S. Lind et al, “The Changing Face of War: Into the Fourth Generation,ˮ Marine Corps Gazette, 73,10, (October 1989): 23. 3 Bloomberg, “Turkey’s Killer Drone Swarm Poses Syria Air Challenge to Putin,ˮ last accessed 19 March 2020, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-01/turkey-s-killer-drone-swarm-poses- syria-air-challenge-to-putin. 2 With this in mind, this paper will first provide background information on the historical development of RPAS. Second, it will demonstrate how RPAS changed the joint planning process (JPP) by using the United States (U.S.) example. Lastly, the paper will show how RPAS can be utilized as a force multiplier on the battlefield. Rapid renewal of scientific knowledge in the last decades has affected all parts of social life. Every development has triggered another one to create a new solution to human needs. Inevitably, RPAS has been exposed to the same change process which led to emerging of an increased number of new type platforms. Hence, RPAS has become a multi-purpose system. It serves both the military and industry. RPAS supports particularly combat, stabilization, and domestic operations with regards to military use. Yet, RPAS has some limitations since it depends on operators and logistical support. It is difficult to cover all these dimensions on this paper. As such, the paper will focus on combat operations, leaving others to future studies. Further, it will encompass only the Western doctrine and practices for better analysis. A BRIEF HISTORY OF RPAS Pilotless aircraft (PA) was defined as an aircraft that was “capable of being flown without a pilotˮ according to the convention on international civil aviation on 7 December 1944.4 There is still a disagreement on the definition of that aircraft, although more than 70 years passed over that convention. While some use drone and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) terms, others prefer to use Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and RPAS. UAS is more common than RPAS both in the U.S. and the United Kingdom (UK) However, the International Civil Aviation Organization decisions and publications should 4 International Civil Aviation Organization, The Convention on International Civil Aviation, (Chicago: 1944), 5. 3 be taken as guides to solve this ambiguity. Therefore, this study adopted a more formal and international approach by defining all remotely piloted aircraft as RPAS. The history of RPAS dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. The U.S. Navy’s interest for the aerial torpedoes helped the development of radio control after 1909. Nonetheless, the level of gyroscopic devices and radio control was not enough to develop a guided weapon in that period. Notwithstanding, the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) succeeded in testing RAE 1921 target aircraft in 1922. Thus, aerial automated system projects focused on building target aircraft.5 Both the UK and the U.S. Armed Forces were the pioneers for the target RPAS in the 1930s and 1940s. On one hand, the Royal Navy acquired more than 400 DH 82B Queen Bee target RPAS between 1934 and 1943. On the other hand, the U.S. armed forces were enthusiastic about remote-controlled model airplanes manufactured by the Radioplane Company (RC) during World War II. Northrop’s acquisition of RC was the most important development in that period6 because Northrop became one of the leading companies later in the RPAS industry. The RPAS trend turned from target airplanes into reconnaissance platforms during the Cold War. Equipped with a camera to take photos, the SD-1 had a rocket- assisted takeoff capability and a radar tracking system. That was the first tactical RPAS of the U.S. Army. That model inspired the production of contemporary surveillance RPAS.7 The Vietnam war was a breaking point for RPAS. The United States Air Force used the Teledyne-Ryan AQM series widely to have real-time and infrared images 5 Steven J. Zaloga and Ian Palmer, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Robotic Air Warfare 1917–2007, (Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 2008), 6. 6 Ibid, 7. 7 Ibid, 10. 4 together with electronic warfare capability from 1964 to 1975. DC-130 airplanes were platforms to launch and direct these systems. The AQM series relied on its parachute to have a safe landing.8 These systems not only conducted risky missions without human casualties, but they also proved to be a force multiplier on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Canadair Limited started building CL-89 (The Midge) in 1963 both for the Canadian and British Armed Forces. Later, West Germany, Italy, and France bought this system too. The midge even operated during the Desert Storm in 1991 for surveillance purposes.9 Tadiran Electronic Systems and Israeli Aircraft Industries came up with the idea of small and low-cost RPAS to neutralize air-defence systems after Vietnam and Yom Kippur Wars. In this regard, those companies manufactured the Mastiff and Scout models respectively.10 Mastiff was smaller and lighter than AQM-34G/H. The Israel Armed Forces (IAF) used both Mastiff and Scout together with decoy RAPS to neutralize air- defence systems during the 1982 Lebanon war. That kind of inexpensive and simple solution shaped the RPAS doctrine and encouraged other countries like Iran to start working on RAPS.11 Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom operations constituted a milestone for RPAS because of the unprecedented number and types of RPAS use in combat missions as shown in Table 1. These operations also showed how the RPAS technology advanced. Innovations in material management, global positioning and communication systems paved the way for the production of smaller, durable, and effective platforms. These 8 Ian G. R.

  • 11. Cultural Contacts and Mobility Between the South Central Mediterranean and the Aegean During the Second Half of the 3Rd Millennium BC
    CULTURAL CONTACTS AND MOBILITY 243 11. Cultural contacts and mobility between the south central Mediterranean and the Aegean during the second half of the 3rd millennium BC ALBERTO CAZZELLA, ANTHONY PACE AND GIULIA RECCHIA Abstract One of the effects of the reconfiguration of world prehistoric chronolo- gies as a result of radiocarbon dating has been the questioning of hith- erto established frameworks of connectivity and the movement of peo- ple, materials and ideas in prehistory. This contribution revisits issues of connectivity between the south-central Mediterranean region and the Aegean during the Early Bronze Age. This short study highlights the need for scholars to re-examine connectivity using, as an example, diagnostic archaeological evidence of intra-regional links between South Italy, Sic- ily and Malta and the Aegean, that was not affected by carbon dating. The paper suggests that while broader regional patterns of connectivity may have benefited from revised chronologies of world prehistory, mi- cro-regional cultural links may require new explanations of crossings and the evident movement of commodities by land and by sea. Radiocarbon dating and the re-examination of diffusionist thinking during the post World War II decades raised several questions concern- ing the nature of cultural contact across the Mediterranean during late prehistory. Seminal work by Colin Renfrew (1973) on the effects of new chronologies, served to emphasise the discordant cultural links that older dating frameworks had suggested. Hitherto established theories of hu- man mobility involving extensive geographic areas, as well as links be- tween small communities of the Mediterranean, also came under close 244 ALBERTO CAZZELLA, ANTHONY PACE AND GIULIA RECCHIA scrutiny and, in many cases, were abandoned altogether.

Archaeology International, No. 17:pp, 79-93, DOI: http://dx.cloi.org/10.5334/ai.1708 RESEARCH ARTICLE Scaling the State: Egypt in the Third Millennium BC Richard Bussmann* Discussions of the early Egyptian state suffer from a weak consideration of scale. Egyptian archaeologists derive their arguments primarily from evidence of court cemeteries, elite tombs, and monuments of royal display. The material informs the analysis of kingship, early writing, and administration but it remains obscure how the core of the early Pharaonic state was embedded in the territory it claimed to administer. This paper suggests that the relationship between centre and hinterland is key for scaling the Egyptian state of the Old Kingdom (ca. 2,700- 2,200 BC). Initially, central administration imagines Egypt using models at variance with provincial practice. The end of the Old Kingdom demarcates not the collapse, but the beginning of a large-scale state characterized by the coalescence of central and local models.

Speakers are drawn from across the UK, Europe and Middle East. 1. Water management system in Third Millennium Southern Mesopotamian Towns Eloisa Casadei (Sapienza University of Rome) Understanding the relationship between water and ancient society still stimulates a vivid discussion both in historical and anthropological debate. Problems such as the control of riverine water through irrigation systems and the management of water in the urban compound have been seen by researchers as key to the rise of complexity during the 4th-3rd millennium BC. However, the archaeological data relating to the organization of water in the settlements are not always sufficient to explain the whole management system. In particular, 4th and 3rd millennium BC temples and palaces show a complex organization of shafts, basins and drains for which a functional reconstruction is still a matter of debate. While the so-called palaces included a sort of household organization similar to the private compound, water-related features inside the temples could play a more symbolic role.
