OVERVIEW

The page at https://www.jb-gpt-prompts.com/air-power offers a collection of AI-generated research prompt papers focused on Drone Warfare specifically structured to support military education, strategic thinking, and doctrinal analysis. Each paper includes:

• A clear title, overview, glossary, key points, and a fully sourced bibliography.

• Content based strictly on an selected military reference list, which should help to ensure factual accuracy and if required doctrinal alignment.

• Prompts designed for use with any AI platform, whether free or subscription-based, enabling flexible integration into study or analysis workflows.

These resources may be of particular value to military students, educators, and analysts, helping them frame deeper research projects, support coursework, or explore complex operational and strategic questions through a structured, reference-driven format.

INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH EACH PROMPT ARE AS FOLLOWS:

DEFINITION: DRONE.....“The term ‘drone’ broadly encompasses uncrewed systems that operate across various domains—including air, land, sea, underwater, and even space—capable of remote control or autonomous function. These systems, whether flying aircraft, ground rovers, or maritime vessels, are designed to perform military, surveillance, logistical, or civilian tasks without an onboard human presence.”— De Gruyter Handbook of Drone Warfare (Rogers, 2024, Ch. 3: "Defining Drones").
