Aerial warfare

The Ethics of Drone Warfare The first recorded use of attack drones occurred on July 15, 1849. The setup for these drones was simple; a balloon attached to a basket would carry a bomb, the attackers would then calculate how much air the balloon needed to reach the desired destination. After that, these early UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) would be sent off to cause destruction. In my opinion, this method seems childish, but this elementary design has helped shape how war is carried out today.…

vessels and ground assistance. Drones being remote controlled from a base or ship can go into enemy air space without risking the life of a pilot. The “Sea Avenger,” is a copy of the air forces more widely seen drone, the avenger can carry missiles for aerial attacks, which is one thing the air forces drone cannot. “This drone was adapted from the Air Force’s famous Predator specifically for the Navy’s needs. It can launch off a variety of ships and combines jet speed with range, endurance and…

Regardless whether we are with or against this trend in warfare, the robotics revolution looks to alter society’s relationship with war in some insightful ways. Drones have always been deemed as too risky for humans due to the launching of missiles and attacks on unsuspecting humans and the unwanted surveillance…

Apex Sketch takes a sketch export out of your assessing.net database and creates a GIS building shapefile map layer. From this sketch file you overlay a aerial photo and the sketch variances from the actual aerial photo stand out like a sore thumb when they are set at the same scale. Apex has a sketch technician that painstakingly reviews each property, parcel by parcel. I had previously done similar work while working in the Monroe County Equalization Department under Mike Woolford. Mike…

Drones, which are also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are aircraft controlled by the pilots at the command center on the ground. Drones are virtually controlled and does not require any pilot physically present in the aircraft. Basically, drones are categorized in two groups, those which used for surveillance mission and those which used for assault mission, but nowadays, most of the drones used in military warfare are equipped with both groups of equipment which enabled for…

delivery is expected, drone delivery is the new innovation for customer satisfaction. What is a drone? A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UVA) equipped with a video camera, sensors, and GPS and operated by a joystick console or autonomously through computer technology (“What Are Drones?,” 2017). However, drones have been used by military forces since the 1960s for warfare (“What Are Drones?,” 2017). The drones allow military forces to locate and attack geographical targets without the use of…

Drone Warfare has had an immediate global impact when it was first announced to the world stemming from “unethical” to “brilliance”. Private owners are now using drones for hobbies, while governments are utilizing their weaponized drones for surveillance and warfare. Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), are considered a relatively new piece of technology, and the United States is having trouble assigning laws to this new technology. Drones are an astonishing piece of machinery;…

with huge numbers of casualties (Stalingrad, Manila, Seoul); aerial bombing producing hundreds of thousands of casualties in a single day (Dresden and Tokyo); civil war (Beirut, Monrovia); precision bombing (Baghdad, Belgrade); counterterrorism (Belfast)” among others. To minimize these risks, commanders and their staffs should select carefully the targets inside a town and respect strictly the rules of engagement. Thereby, urban warfare can be carried out without killing city populations in…

10 Reasons Why It Sucks Being a Drone Owner The growing use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones in recent years seems to have caught the attention of everybody and created a multi-billion dollar industry that thrives on the back of technological innovation. For critics and enthusiasts of drones, the vehicle have becomes widely acceptable because they are inexpensive to produce, easy to deploy, highly accurate and promise to make life easier. In spite of these benefits, drones continue…
