Strategic Analyst Patrick Bolder joined the Chatham House sessions on the use of armed drones last week. This particular event, the third in a series, was centered around the political, legal and military decision making in the use of armed drones. A challenging scenario raised some tough and intense discussions amongst a group of about 20 participants from several backgrounds. The event was closed off with a (simulated) press conference on Thursday and an intense evaluation on Friday. Valuable lessons-learned on decision making dynamics were taken home.
