Mines, guided missiles, satellites and more recently drones, are just some of the military tech that have been developed over the last few hundred years. A new book 'The Hand Behind Unmanned' explores the factors and beliefs that led to the contemporary American arsenal and asks where it's headed in the future.
Julia Macdonald is the co-author of the book, as well as the Director of Research and Engagement at the Asia New Zealand Foundation, and a Research Professor at the University of Denver.
She's also held positions at the RAND Corporation, in Aotearoa at the Ministry of Defence, and Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet where she led development of New Zealand's first National Security Strategy.
Julia speaks with Susie Ferguson.
