Book excerpt: A MISSING MILITARY SECRET … A RUTHLESS ADVERSARY … A RACE AGAINST TIME When a space-based drone conveying part of an orbital defense system plummets into the Caribbean, the U.S. military scrambles to retrieve their missing tech. The nearest vessel to the crash site is Ryan Weller’s personal catamaran, and the top brass waste no time in enlisting Ryan’s help in diving for the drone. Determined as ever, Ryan locates the missing UAV, but before he and his colleagues at Dark Water Research can raise it from the ocean floor, they come under fire from a detachment of Chinese Special Forces intent on securing the satellite for their own use. With multiple parties now staking their claim to the satellite—and a Chinese submarine stalking the Caribbean—Ryan is once more thrust into the thick of things in a race to return Project Thor to U.S. soil. Failure would mean handing China the ability to undermine the United States, and that’s not a price Ryan is willing to pay. But the Chinese have ideas of their own …

Download or read book The Ethics of Drone Design written by Dylan Cawthorne and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a holistic approach to the design and use of drones. It argues that this powerful technology requires high levels of ethical analysis and responsibility – our moral progress must keep pace with our technological progress. Drone technologies support and diminish the flourishing of certain human values, impact power relations between individuals and groups, and add an additional element to the complex network of humans and objects in modern society. The book begins by introducing four prototype drones designed and built by the author: the healthcare drone, the search and rescue drone, the educational drone, and the spiritual drone. These drones have been developed using a value-sensitive design approach – with values such as human welfare, privacy, trust, environmental sustainability, and justice at the forefront. Ethical analyses and social impacts are taken as design inputs, leading to the creation of better, more responsible drone designs. The book then showcases additional methods used to develop the prototype drones from the fields of engineering, ethics, and art, including ethical frameworks, ethics standards, capability caution, and speculative design. The holistic approach reveals a more subtle and nuanced view of drones than the currently polarized characterization of "the good drone" or "the killer drone". The book concludes with recommendations for drone engineers, companies, lawmakers, and citizens on how to support ethics in drone design. The Ethics of Drone Design is an essential resource for scholars, advanced students, engineers, and designers interested in the ethics of technology.

Download or read book The Drone Wars written by Seth J. Frantzman and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the battle for the streets of Mosul in Iraq, drones in the hands of ISIS terrorists made life hell for the Iraq army and civilians. Today, defense companies are racing to develop the lasers, microwave weapons, and technology necessary for confronting the next drone threat. Seth J. Frantzman takes the reader from the midnight exercises with Israel’s elite drone warriors, to the CIA headquarters where new drone technology was once adopted in the 1990s to hunt Osama bin Laden. This rapidly expanding technology could be used to target nuclear power plants and pose a threat to civilian airports. In the Middle East, the US used a drone to kill Iranian arch-terrorist Qasem Soleimani, a key Iranian commander. Drones are transforming the battlefield from Syria to Libya and Yemen. For militaries and security agencies—the main users of expensive drones—the UAV market is expanding as well; there were more than 20,000 military drones in use by 2020. Once the province of only a few militaries, drones now being built in Turkey, China, Russia, and smaller countries like Taiwan may be joining the military drone market. It’s big business, too—$100 billion will be spent over the next decade on drones. Militaries may soon be spending more on drones than tanks, much as navies transitioned away from giant vulnerable battleships to more agile ships. The future wars will be fought with drones and won by whoever has the most sophisticated technology.
