Rethinking the Drone War: National Security, Legitimacy and Civilian Casualties in U.S. Counterterrorism Operations: National Security, Legitimacy and Civilian Casualties in U.S. Counterterrorism Operations

Drones constitute a recent addition to the long list of technological advancements in warfighting over time, a list that includes the development
of the crossbow, gunpowder-powered projectile weapons, chemical weapons in World War I, and rockets and jet aircraft in World War II. The
most advanced drones—the armed Predator and Reaper models—offer persistent surveillance as well as the ability to engage targets from almost
anywhere across the globe, without a requirement for forces on the ground. This extended reach offers a clear example of how advances in technology
can provide a new and effective option for using lethal force.
Technological advancements and changing security practices affecting the use of force raise important ethical and practical questions, such
as whether the technologies and practices should be used in warfare and whether self-imposed limits are appropriate for their responsible use,
which can be addressed through national policy decisions, as well as such international laws and standards as the principles of humanity enshrined. Related items:

Recenzii
February 16, 2017 Popular Science Magazine Military Section Article: What's next for the drone war? If Trump follows Obama's Precedent, careful consideration and gradual transparency. But that's a pretty big "if". by Kelsey D. Atherton
"Rethinking the Drone War is a collection of reports recently published by Marine Corps University Press. The focus is about the national security potential for, and legitimacy of, drone strikes, and the dangers of civilian casualties, as the United States uses remotely piloted vehicles to pursue a war on terror.
'I think sometimes people think about drones and they think "killer robots,"' says Larry Lewis, who together with Diane Vavrichek wrote the reports in the book. “There’s also an interest due to a false understanding of what drones actually are and what they do."
