Droner i sivilsamfunnet (Drones in Civil Society)

Drones in Civil Society

Civilian drones are becoming a billion-dollar industry in Norway, and in many forums they are referred to as Norway’s new oil. But what are civilian drones, and how can we best ensure that drones are used responsibly in our society? That is the main question that is discussed in this book. Drones in civil society illuminate the theme from many different angles. Who are the actors and how do they interact? What exactly is the difference between civilian and military drone use? What distinguishes hobby pilots from professional operators, and how can students be trained in responsible, experimental exploration of drone technology? And what happens to privacy and individuals in the midst of all this? The rapid development in the field indicates that drones will soon be an integral part of our new everyday life. How will it affect transport, business, nature, surveillance, privacy, crime, warfare and communication?
