In combating the terrorist groups for the responsibility for these attacks, the United States responded by launching a campaign against terrorism known as Global War on Terrorism by issuing military strategies as a form of implementation. To deal with increased terrorist activity in the Niger region, the United States uses a varied military strategy, one of those strategy is UCAV usage.This study analyzes and describes the reasons for changes in United States military policy using Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) in Niger in 2018. This study uses a rational choice framework and national security strategy to explain the reasons for changing military policy by using UCAV drones in Niger. The methodology used in this research is qualitative-explanative.
