whether it's military operations or business use. Drones run on
programmed instructions and algorithms. The navigation and flight
operations are only possible because of the internet system.
• Hackers can easily attack a drone's central control system and become
the drone's original controller. They may acquire full control of UAVs
without the knowledge of the original controller. Hackers can also
retrieve private information, corrupt or damage the files, or even leak
data to unauthorized third parties.
Technical Glitches
• Lithium-ion batteries, sensors, weight, and atmospheric pressure are
too much to bear for a drone. In addition, an inexperienced pilot may
be more dangerous as they have to avoid possible obstacles in mid-air.
• Software or hardware malfunctions come as the biggest cons of
drones that carry ammunition as it may cause numerous casualties.
Drones are still in the process of improvement to limit accidents that
can compromise the safety of human lives.
