Abstract

Drones: They’re everywhere! Actually, the preferred name for drones is Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs). Most notoriously, UASs have played a significant role in our military operations in the Middle East, particularly on the front lines of the battle with ISIS and al Qaeda forces. The use of UASs to collect various forms of remotely sensed information and data has increased dramatically in recent years, giving rise to a serious ethical debate concerning potential breaches of personal privacy and potential nefarious uses of this technology.
