A Tactical Insight into Modern Warfare – Peter Savage Books – BLOG

New for 2026, Publication available on Amazon in Kindle, with Full colour and black & white editions.

This book explores the rapid development of hobby drone technology in modern warfare, from manually piloted systems to AI- and machine-learning–driven platforms. Combining real-world experience in Ukraine with clear technical explanation, it examines how unmanned systems evolved from experimental tools and hobby kits into critical battlefield assets.

Central to the book is a practical DIY drone build project that guides readers through design, assembly, and configuration while explaining key components, software, and flight theory. The principles behind modern AI-assisted navigation, adaptive flight behaviour, and autonomous decision-making are explained in an accessible way.

The book also covers anti-drone defence systems, including detection, electronic warfare, and interception technologies, highlighting the ongoing contest between unmanned threats and countermeasures with real-life references. The Black & White illustrated edition of Transforming Hobby Drones for Warfare, ISBN: 978-1-7643594-5-0, is also available on Amazon.com.
