DRONES OVER AMERICA 2

Ethical Analysis

Since the passage of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act in 2012, the number of

drones flying within the USA airspace has increased significantly. While the use of drones in the

US at the time was limited to government institutions, the FAA further opened the USA airspace

to private organization. This has led to an increase in the number of stakeholders who are

directly or indirectly affected by the use of drones within the US airspace. These stakeholders

include the US government, the FAA, Congress, the general public, security institutions, and

private and commercial organization engaging in the usage of drones.

The US government is considered as a key stakeholder regarding the usage of the

unmanned aircraft systems due to its continued promotion of the same. Over the years, the US

government has continued to encourage the usage of drones especially in monitoring and

enhancing the security of all the American citizens. Another key stakeholder on the issues

surrounding the usage of drones is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Given the powers

to regulate the civil aviation industry in the US, the FAA has continued to expand and promote

the use of unmanned aircraft systems and closely monitors the operations of private entities on

how they use the technology. At the center of the discussion on the usage of drones is the general

American population. While their usage has improved how security, rescue missions,

humanitarian aid, and weather monitoring are conducted, this has come with increased concerns

about the rights to privacy for the majority. The entry of private and commercial enterprises has

increased concerns associated with the use of drones to the general public due to the possibility

of abuse of this privilege.
