ABSTRACT
In the present paper, the authors seek to analyze the impact of the increased use of the
drones in today's economy. Drones in technical sense refers to an unarmed aircraft or
formally known as the unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or unmanned Aircraft Systems. It
may also be defined as a flying robot which is monitored or controlled by with the help of
a remote control or through the help of downloaded software and works in coordination
with the onboard sensors and the GPS. Drones are being used for a variety of purposes
depending upon the type of the drone being used, the drone can be used either for military
use, commercial use or even for general civil purposes by the common public. It is this
increased use of drones which has raised fears regarding the privacy of the citizens of the
world and along with this there have been numerous incidents of drones causing
interference in Air-traffic or there are also cases of cyber-fraud being committed through
the help of drones. Privacy of individuals, being now declared as a fundamental right of
the individuals across the globe, has risen as the most important concern to be solved in
the modern economy. This in all and all has necessitated the need of stricter regulations
being imposed on the use of drones, and countries across the world have come up with
different legislations to control the disturbance created due to the use of drones. The
present paper studies the extent of interference caused by drones in the context of right to
privacy of the individuals in both national and international spheres. Through the scope of
this paper we will try to understand the basics of drones, the uses to which it can be put,
the problems with the increased use of drones, the legislations National and International
and the possible way forward to manage all the activities.
