The Good Drone

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Good Drone explores the use of drones in civil and military airspace, including agriculture, border control, policing, search and rescue, warfare and wildlife protection. Drones are no longer only synonymous with the US deployment of weaponized drones in the Global War on Terror. However, while the military use of drones has been the subject of much scrutiny, the use of drones for other purposes has so far received little academic attention. The first in its kind, this volume surveys the possibilities drones deployed across civil and military airspace have for doing good.
