This report presents an action-research study on the effectiveness of drone deployment by the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) in jungle environments. Conducted as part of the UN's drone integration project, this qualitative study assesses the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, surveillance, and other activities. The findings demonstrate significant enhancements in situational awareness and self-defense capabilities. This report concludes that drones are vital to augmenting military troop capabilities and security in jungle environments. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities, limitations, and best practices for drone utilization in peacekeeping missions and jungle warfare operations.
