At the conference „Drones in Civilian Airspaces: Security, Regulation, and Imagination” at Peace Research Institute Oslo, Katharina Wuropulos (HSU, Hamburg) will chair the panel „Drone imagination” and discussed the contributions of Dr. Anna Jackman (University of Reading, UK) and Prof. Dr. Kathrin Maurer (Center for Technology and Culture, University of Southern Denmark).
Over the last years, the use of drones in the civilian airspace has increased dramatically, opening up some opportunities and leading to a wide range of new security challenges, as illustrated by the numerous incidents observed in Norway in recent weeks.
In response to this proliferation, significant international, regional, and national efforts have been undertaken to develop regulations to integrate drones safely into civilian airspace.
What security problems arise from drone proliferation in the airspace, and how will this problem-set change as automation and artificial intelligence become more widespread?
What are the frames, scope and boundaries of the discourse regarding the promises and risks of civil-drone integration? How can authorities adapt regulatory frameworks to integrate drones into the civilian airspace while maintaining high safety, security and privacy standards?
