BERLIN -- An official says Germany has canceled plans to purchase and modify U.S.-made Global Hawk surveillance drones for 1 billion euros ($1.3 billi...
ABOARD THE USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH -- A drone the size of a fighter jet took off from the deck of an American aircraft carrier for the first time Tuesday...
The idea of increased surveillance by UAVs may well be unpopular, but should proactive security surveillance measures harnessing the latest technology not be a viable alternative to the reactive scramble for evidence?
DUBLIN -- A Northern Ireland police commander says 8,000 officers and three surveillance drones will protect visiting dignitaries and monitor protests...
In many ways, the seemingly furious debate over drones is yet another reaction to the pace at which technology washes over us. There is no doubt that drones raise legitimate legal issues, but it's just too easy to let our "privacy reflex" dominate and overwhelm the discussion.
Ten years after the failed Iraq war, secret legal memos reveal Obama is using the same fear-mongering tactics of 'imminent threats' of evil to justify his drones program as Bush did to justify invading Iraq under his 'pre-emptive' doctrine.
Americans see the drone war as essentially cost-free. But the terrorist threat is coming from Muslim countries with growing anti-U.S. sentiment, as recent protests in Pakistan and Yemen demonstrate. It's time for the U.S. to rethink what it's doing in that part of the world.
Are they helping us to win wars, or are they essentially prolonging wars that are ultimately unwinnable? So far, it appears that drones aren't decisive. They're merely instrumental. They're instrumental in keeping us in a losing cause.

WASHINGTON -- The Department of Homeland Security has launched a program to "facilitate and accelerate the adoption" of small, unmanned drones by poli...
What surprised me in the symposium, however, is how much telerobotics and telepresence is being used today, right here on our own planet, enabling people to survey, explore, mine, and even kill from great distances.
WASHINGTON -- Saying that President Barack Obama "has instructed us to be more open with the American people" in the use of drones to kill suspected t...
As the battle of both words and deeds heats up between Iran and the west, some experts have begun to question whether Israel even truly has the capabi...
The U.S. has a history of commandeering military technology for use against Americans. Now the drones, remote-controlled aircrafts that have been used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, are coming home to domestic airspace.
There are several other countries with drone systems comparable or superior to Iran's, notably France, Italy, and South Africa. With labels like "The Ambassador of Death", however, Iran's does have the scariest name.
Less than two weeks after Iran announced its highly enriched uranium plans, the Israeli Air Force staged a ceremony in honor of the "operational acceptance" of new Heron TP drone. It may be the last thing Iran wants hanging over its head.
Ranging from relatively detached wide shots of bombings taken by onboard cameras to startlingly graphic close-ups, "drone porn" has become a smash hit, tallying over 10 million views.
There are no journalists in Waziristan or the other areas of western Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, so there are therefore no authoritative reports from the ground on the effects of these strikes.
As you watch the Terminator movie, actual unmanned aerial vehicles armed with Hellfire missiles will be patrolling our expanding global battlefields, hunting down human beings.
