ABSTRACT
Another book about ‘drones?’ Given the events of the past few years, the interest in the legal and ethical questions surrounding ‘drones’ and the technophile interest in the future of war with these new weapons, the market might appear saturated with writings on the topic ranging from condemnation of the moral hazards of ‘robotic warfare’ to others casually welcoming the prospect of what might be the next inevitable technological leap forward in modern warfare. So, why write another book on ‘drones,’ and why the insistence on calling them remotely piloted aircraft and unmanned combat aerial vehicles, or RPAs and UCAVs? 1
