Článek analyzuje vyčkávací munici jako samostatnou kategorii odlišnou od tradičních UAV a zkoumá její roli v nedávných ozbrojených konfliktech. Na základě kvalitativní a kvantitativní analýzy dochází k závěru, že se tyto systémy staly trvalou součástí soudobých konfliktů, což se odráží i v rychlé expanzi akvizičních snah v rámci států NATO po letech stagnace. S využitím těchto poznatků článek představuje čtyři funkční kritéria vymezující vyčkávací munici a nabízí cílené mapování DOTMLPFI, které shrnuje požadavky a orientační metriky potřebné k dosažení plné operační schopnosti. Studie ukazuje, že pokrok ve všech oblastech DOTMLPFI je nezbytný pro účinnou a udržitelnou integraci, zejména u menších ozbrojených sil.

Loitering Munition: Impact, Response and Approach to its Integration into Smaller Armed Forces


The article analyzes loitering munition as a distinct category separate from traditional UAVs and examines its role in recent armed conflicts. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative analysis, it finds that these systems have become a persistent feature of modern warfare, which is also reflected in the rapid expansion of acquisition efforts within NATO countries after years of stagnation. Building on these findings, the article introduces four functional criteria defining loitering munition and provides a targeted DOTMLPFI mapping that outlines the key requirements and indicative metrics needed to achieve full operational capability. The study shows that progress across all DOTMLPFI domains is essential for effective and sustainable integration, particularly in smaller armed forces.
