Drone Futures UAS in Landscape and Urban Design

Drone Futures UAS in Landscape and Urban Design

Drone Futures explores new paradigms in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in landscape and urban design. UAS or drones can be deployed with direct application to the built environment; this book explores the myriad of contemporary and future possibilities of the design medium its aesthetic mapping agency AI mobility and contribution to smart cities. Drones present innovative possibilities operating in a ‘hover space’ between human scales of landscape observation and light aircraft providing a unique resolution of space. This book shows how UAS can be utilised to provide new perspectives on spatial layout landscape and urban conditions data capture for construction monitoring and simulation of design proposals. Author Paul Cureton examines both the philosophical use of these tools and practical steps for implementation by designers. Illustrated in full colour throughout Drone Futures discusses UAS and their connectivity to other design technologies and processes including mapping and photogrammetry AR/VR drone AI and drones for construction and fabrication new mobilities smart cities and city information models (CIMs). It is specifically geared towards professionals seeking to understand UAS applications and future development and students seeking an understanding of the role of drones and airspace in the built environment and its powerful geographic imaginary.

Terrorism and the US Drone Attacks in Pakistan Killing First

Terrorism and the US Drone Attacks in Pakistan Killing First

This book analyses the US drone attacks against terrorists in Pakistan to assess whether the ‘pre-emptive’ use of combat drones to kill terrorists is ever legally justified. Exploring the doctrinal discourse of pre-emption vis-à-vis the US drone attacks against terrorists in Pakistan the book shows that the debate surrounding this discourse encapsulates crucial tensions between the permission and limits of the right of self-defence. Drawing from the long history of God-given and man-made laws of war this book employs positivism as a legal frame to explore and explain the doctrine of pre-emption and analyses the doctrine of the state’s rights to self-defence as it stretches into pre-emptive or preventive use of force. The book investigates why the US chose the recourse to pre-emption through the use of combat drones in the ‘war on terror’ and whether there is a potential future for the pre-emption of terrorism through combat drones. The author argues that the policy to ‘kill first’ is easy to adopt; however any disregard for the web of legal requirements surrounding the policy has the potential to undercut the legal claims of an armed act. The book enables the framing and analysis of such controversies in legal terms as opposed to a choice between law and policy. An examination of the legal dilemma concerning drone warfare this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of international relations Asian politics South Asian studies and security studies in particular global security law new wars and emerging technologies of warfare. | Terrorism and the US Drone Attacks in Pakistan Killing First

Implicit Learning 50 Years On

Implicit Learning 50 Years On

Can we learn without knowing we are learning? To what extent is our behavior influenced by things we fail to perceive? What is the relationship between conscious and unconscious cognition? Implicit Learning: 50 Years On tackles these key questions fifty years after the publication of Arthur Reber’s seminal text. Providing an overview of recent developments in the field the volume considers questions about the computational foundations of learning alongside phenomena including conditioning memory formation and consolidation associative learning cognitive development and language learning. Featuring contributions from international researchers the book uniquely integrates ‘Western’ thinking on implicit learning with insights from a rich Russian research tradition. This approach offers an excellent opportunity to contrast perspectives to introduce new experimental paradigms and to contribute to ongoing debates about the very nature of implicit learning. Implicit Learning: 50 Years On is essential reading for students and researchers of consciousness specifically those interested in implicit learning. | Implicit Learning 50 Years On

Legitimacy and Drones Investigating the Legality Morality and Efficacy of UCAVs

Legitimacy and Drones Investigating the Legality Morality and Efficacy of UCAVs

Unmanned combat air vehicles or in common parlance 'drones' have become a prominent instrument in US efforts to counter an objective (and subjective) cross-border terrorist threat with lethal force. As a result critical questions abound on the legitimacy of their use. In a series of multidisciplinary essays by scholars with an extensive knowledge of international norms this book explores the question of legitimacy through the conceptual lenses of legality morality and efficacy it then closes with the consideration of a policy proposal aimed at incorporating all three indispensable elements. The importance of this inquiry cannot be overstated. Non-state actors fully understand that attacking the much more powerful state requires moving the conflict away from the traditional battlefield where they are at an enormous disadvantage. Those engaging in terrorism seek to goad the ruling government into an overreaction or abuse of power to trigger a destabilization via an erosion of its legitimacy. Thus defending the target of legitimacy”in this case insuring the use of deadly force is constrained by valid limiting principles”represents an essential strategic interest. This book seeks to come to grips with the new reality of drone warfare by exploring if it can be used to preserve rather than eat away at legitimacy. After an extensive analysis of the three key parameters in twelve chapters the practical proposition of establishing a 'Drone Court' is put forward and examined as a way of pursuing the goal of integrating these essential components to defend the citizenry and the legitimacy of the government at the same time. | Legitimacy and Drones Investigating the Legality Morality and Efficacy of UCAVs
