Rise of drones in UK airspace prompts civil liberties warning

A report by the European Commission plans uses hundreds of civilians by drones over the next decade

drones will become commonplace in the skies of Britain in a decade, according to a document of the European Commission suggests that hundreds of companies to develop new uses for them.

But the claims have raised concerns among civil liberties groups, who fear that the drone will result in more forms of surveillance. 95% of service drones used by the military, but the document also indicates that now "a great potential for civilian applications."

working document of the Commission, Towards a European strategy for the development of applications for civil unmanned aircraft systems, said there are about 400 civilian UAV applications in the development of all EU . This number is expected to increase in the next decade.

estimated 35,000 aircraft produced in the world over the next 10 years. Today United States Israel and produce two-thirds of drones, while Europe produces less than 10%.

far, no unusual military drone. Merseyside Police has bought a £ 13,000 drone that crashed last year in the Mersey. Kent Police is also working on a project of 3 million pounds to use drones to patrol the coast.

civilian drones possible uses mentioned in the Commission document used to include "risk flights in ash clouds or near nuclear or chemical after major incidents." It also drones could be used in crisis management, police, border control and the fight against fires.

• in hundreds of applications have been identified "in precision agriculture and fisheries, monitoring of power lines / gas, inspection, infrastructure, communications and radio, television and wireless communication satellite systems increase, natural resource monitoring, media / entertainment, management, digital mapping, land and wildlife, management of quality air. "the document says that the knowledge of the skills drones" is spreading quickly among potential users, creating new markets for air services in the same way that the iPad has created a totally new and unexpected market for services mobile data ".
But campaigners warned that the new generation of unmanned aircraft could have profound implications for civil liberties. "Through the use of unmanned aircraft in European airspace spiral urgent need for clarity and transparency about how and when these tools are put in place," said Eric King of Privacy International.

"It was not long ago, this was science fiction, but flying robotic devices equipped with facial recognition technology and wiretap phones are increasingly common.

"However, the way the secrets of unmanned surveillance aircraft have been in service, and the inability of the police to recognize and deal with human rights issues at stake, he created a huge potential for abuse. "

The race to develop the technology has also led to security problems. A report by the Government Accountability Office warns that U.S. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) do not have the technological and operational standards "required to drive safe and consistent performance of the UAS."
