LEGAL STATUS OF ANTI-DRONE SYSTEMS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
Journal Title: Challenges of the knowledge society ( Provocari ale societatii cunoasterii ) - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 13
Abstract
The idea behind countering drone systems has been an ongoing issue for both states and the international community as it became clear that unmanned vehicles are going to become an integral part of any state’s arsenal and infrastructure. As drone technology developed so did the necessity to protect communities, borders and even rights from prying eyes and possible incursions. Furthermore, the requirement to protect communities and high value objectives has been detrimental after drone technology became accessible to a larger demographic, but while a large spectrum of drones can be bought by almost anyone, the same can’t be said about counter-drone technology, which is currently sparse or exclusively in governmental control. Most anti-drone systems on the market are variants of existing anti-weaponry devices that were given another capability, but sometimes without meeting the requirements for certification or receiving a proper updated mechanical or software part. This paper will focus on outlining a series of anti-drone systems that are available and how they are being currently used by states inside and outside their borders, but also to show who is allowed to use them and under what circumstances. Furthermore, the paper will showcase why international law is important in governing how counter-drone systems are deployed and used by states and why international law will be a frontrunner in the legalization process of said systems. As a conclusion, the paper will mediate between current legal systems from states that have adopted anti-drone systems and how the international community must ensure the safety of other states and their citizens from the growing threat of unlawful drone deployment
