Iran’s Attack on Israeli Long-Range Drones: Reshaping the Battlefield
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed J.L. “Jim” Hancock.
The J.L. Hancock Commentaries
Long-range drones are revolutionizing warfare in several ways:
- Increased Reach: These drones can strike targets hundreds or even thousands of miles away, putting previously safe areas at risk and forcing militaries to rethink base locations and defenses.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to traditional manned aircraft, long-range drones are cheaper to build and operate, making them accessible to a wider range of actors, including non-state groups. Not to mention the protection of human lives by the attacker.
- Enhanced Situational Awareness: They provide constant surveillance and intelligence gathering over vast areas, allowing for better planning and tactical decision-making.
- Shifting Risk Calculus: Since they are unmanned, drone use allows for a greater willingness to take risks in offensive operations.
J.L. “Jim” Hancock was born in Albuquerque, NM. He has worked as a martial arts instructor, lifeguard, foreign missionary, and river guide. In 2002, he enlisted in the Navy and spent twenty years as a cryptologist.
During his time in the military, Jim toiled away in the dark corners of the government intelligence communities, learned two Asian languages, and eventually conducted over one hundred combat operations with special operations forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Philippines. During the last six years of his career, he worked as the senior enlisted advisor over future concepts and innovation for the Navy special operations community where he became a well-known subject matter expert in unmanned systems, 5G, and artificial intelligence.
He is presently writing a series and a standalone novel.
The Voodoo series involves a skilled military technician facing the evolving global threat of an international arms race for artificial intelligence.
His upcoming standalone novel, The Devil and the Pendulum, is a modern riff on The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. But instead of demons learning to tempt man, The Devil and the Pendulum consists of Russian agents learning to manipulate modern America.
J.L. Hancock lives in San Diego, CA, with his wife and two children.
