Unmanned aerial vehicle

THE ETHICS OF DRONE WARFARE Introduction Recent developments in technology have made possible the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are capable of operating at high altitudes for extended periods of time. These UAVs are capable of deploying precision guided weapons, and can be controlled remotely from the other side of the world. This means that American UAV pilots are able to kill with the push of a button from thousands of miles away. In addition to these advancements are…

California, named the Black Dart, demonstrates the apprehensiveness of the Department of Defense when it comes to drones.

Incident Reporting procedures” (System, 2015). Based on the program of instruction (POI), there is no education of the Aircrew Training Program (ATP), implying that Operators are not receiving the proper schooling, mandated by TC 3-04.62 “Small Unmanned Aircraft System Aircrew Training Program”. ATP’s delegate SUAS programs, whereas it decrees an SUAS Operator meets requirements, detailed throughout the manual i.e. currency, certification, crew-rest requirements and phase training (Army, 2013)…

Throughout the world, drones have abundant purposes; depending on the task needed to be complete. One of the main intents of drones is within warfare to monitor and execute adversaries of the army. Most countries in the world find great practicality for drones within warfare;due to drones being able to travel great distances.

used in combat can change the way we fight. They are being used over sending in our troops, tanks, trucks, and manned aircraft. While we don't risk the lives of our soldiers and spending a lot of tax dollars on expensive equipment and vehicles, we send unmanned drones not risking lives of pilots flying them and the drones we use are cheaper than other options we have. Those who oppose think that drone warfare desensitizes soldiers but drone warfare is ethical because drones save money and…

Ever see one of those super tiny helicopters that can be the size of a car that are remoted controlled that can be many shapes and sizes and if you have they are called drones A.K.A unmanned aircrafts.
