A loitering munition (also known as a suicide drone[1][2][3][4] or kamikaze drone[5][6][7]) is an aerial weapon system category in which the munition loiters (waits passively) around the target area for some time and attacks only once a target is located.[8][9][10] Loitering munitions enable faster reaction times against concealed or hidden targets that emerge for short periods without placing high-value platforms close to the target area, and also allow more selective targeting as the attack can easily be aborted.
