This paper presents an analysis of the proliferation of unmanned aerial and maritime vehicles (UAMVs) and their implications for future military operations. Although initially, the development and production of such vehicles were under state control, they recently moved to the private sector, and their capabilities were constantly improved. They are used for civilian and military purposes. Since there has been a drastic drop in the cost of UAMV production, they are becoming available to almost all armed forces, while previously, it was the privilege of only a few countries. The rapid development of UAMV for military purposes is considered as a new technological revolution that is already significantly changing the character and way of conducting armed conflicts, and it is estimated that their participation and importance in future potential disputes will be increased. The development of UAMVs and their use in armed conflicts has led to their proliferation and production race. The paper analyses the experience of UAMV use in recent military conflicts and identifies its advantages and limitations. Finally, it draws conclusions and recommendations for strategic military planners on implementing those technological changes within the armed forces and provides an adequate response to this threat.
