Remote Reach covers military AI, autonomous weapons, drone warfare, and uncrewed systems, the technologies reshaping how states fight and how decisions get made on the battlefield.
The site exists because this field moves fast and sprawls wide. Targeting algorithms, FPV doctrine, naval autonomy, procurement policy, counter-drone architecture, the connections between them matter, but no single publication covers all of it. Remote Reach pulls the threads together for readers who need to stay current without spending hours doing it themselves.
Who it’s for
Defence professionals, analysts, policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand what autonomous systems are actually doing in the world right now, not in five years. The writing assumes some familiarity with the subject but explains technical detail where it counts.
What we cover
Military AI and machine-assisted targeting. Drone warfare across all domains, air, land, and sea. Uncrewed platforms and autonomous systems. Counter-drone and air defence. Procurement and force structure. Strategy, doctrine, and policy. If autonomy is the trajectory, the story is in scope.
How it works
Each piece is a short, sourced narrative, concrete numbers, named systems, direct links to original reporting. The goal is to give you enough to understand what matters and why, with the sources there if you want to go deeper.
The author
Remote Reach is written and edited by Andy Fawkes, who has spent many years working across defence technology, autonomous systems, and simulation.
