manned aircraft couldn't provide. Also, UAS could be used to fly in to observe or take samples after a chemical or biological attack. Any missions too dangerous for manned aircraft will be taken care of by the UAV. UAV have other advantages over manned aircraft as they have more detailed information about their targets, their strikes are more accurate and cause fewer civilian casualties. They are also cheaper and smaller. Since they have no pilot, the space could be used for fuel and thus they can fly much longer than manned aircraft. Without the need to accommodate crew, drone can be given radar-cheating stealthy shapes and can maneuver better. There are however a problem afflicting the drones as they depend on two-way satellite communications. If the datalink is broken the remote pilot will lose control of the aircraft. For missions requiring constant oversight, the vulnerability to electronic jamming or a direct attack on a communications satellite is a huge problem. Another problem is that the dones has a slight delay between the remote pilot and the aircraft. To reduce latency, small, solar, or laser powered ultra long endurance drones can form a chain in the sky along which satellite signals can be bounced. To reduce the workload on pilots, big UAV can take off and land automatically. The US Air Force plans to have a pilot operating up to four drones at a time. Civil liberty advocacy groups have raised concerns about targeted killings by drones. Bus as long as a UAS pilot can trust data from remote sensors, he or she should be able to make a proper assessment the same ways as the pilot of a manned aircraft. UAS pilot will be in a better position to do so since he or she will have more time to assess the situation accurately and not be exhausted b the physical battering of flying a jet.

Allowing the UAV to fire a weapon based entirely on its own data analysis raises a lot of ethical problems. Using UAV to kill enemies thousands of miles away is like a cowardly action of a bully sheltering behind superior technology. There are fears that UAS will lower the political threshold for fighting and an essential of restraint will be removed. Drones make leaders fonder of war.

Why are batteries environmentally hazardous? Because lithium batteries contain metal that will spontaneously ignite if exposed to air. Also, the negative and positive poles on some lithium batteries are close together, leading more easily to short circuit which can cause fire. Explain the issue of safety versus cost. The issue of safety here is that if the lithium batteries are improperly package, damage or have manufacturing defects, they can short circuit and ignite. Overheated lithium batteries can blow the lids off steel shipping containers and damage a plane. Once a battery catches fire, the heat can set off other batteries. Obama administration proposed rules but they are opposed by many because they say the rules would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in added packaging, paperwork and training for employees. It will also mean delays in getting medical equipment to patients and would drive up the cost of shipments.

Android is widely accepted as being iOS' greatest rival, but, according to Dell SecureWorks security researcher Timothy Vidas, it has a host of issues that have made it a target for malware authors. Poor permissions: the huge host of permissions that users must understand are driving them into information paralysis; they are choosing to ignore the warnings presented to them, and not considering whether they may be dangerous or unnecessary. Open marketplace: Google Play does have an automated scanning program called Bouncer, but its effectiveness is as yet unknown. Therefore many Russian and Chinese alternative markets basically distribute 100 per cent malware Inexperienced or malicious developers: if they don't have any malicious intent, the developers could introduce new vulnerabilities into the target device, or create features that have unintended side effects.

Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. One solution to stop these intruders in your life is enacting strict laws that companies can't detect where their customers live and get the consent if they use the information. Government should protect citizen's privacy from danger. Companies should get consent if they want to use customer's private information, and if customers don't want it(such as stoking customer's house) they must stop to intrude other's privacy.

This article tells us the air traffic controller (ATC) which helps us to have safe fly. ATC has access to sophisticated radar systems that provide an overview of the airspace they control, and they have communication tools to coordinate flight paths with the air crew. When the aircraft travel at higher speed than common modes of transport, the time available for pilots to react to a dangerous situation can be quite short. And ATC helps to aircraft approaching an airfield carefully and it checks the weather conditions for prevent pilots can't see other aircraft. ATC uses radar systems positioned at ATC facility to get a real time overview of the aircraft flying in the airspace they control. Many types of radar equipment are served for traffic on the ground. Primary Surveillance Radars (PSR) - The radar sends a directed pulse into the atmosphere, and when that pulse encounters an object it gets reflected back to the radar station. The bearing of the object with respect to the radar station and its approximate distance can be calculated by this. The radar is typically enclosed in a dome to protect it from adverse weather. Secondary Surveillance Radars (SSR) - the Secondary Surveillance Radar listens for messages from the aircraft's transponder. The radar rotates about the vertical axis, but transmits a specific signal on 1030 MHz. This signal is subsequently received by the aircraft's onboard transponder, which responds with a reply on 1090 MHz. SSR Modes - There are different modes of interrogation that compliant transponders respond to. A - The transponder responds with its squawk code, a unique identifier for the aircraft assigned by ATC comprising of four octal numbers. This code enables ATC to differentiate between the various aircraft being monitored, though it can also be used to discretely communicate the existence of an emergency situation onboard the aircraft. C - the transponder responds with the aircraft's pressure altitude, which is the altitude ab

This article starts with issue of one woman losing her iPhone, which was stolen by someone who lives 20 km away from her. Since there is a app called Track my iPhone, she used this app to go after the thieve and asked for her iPhone back. Not only her who had been finding the thief herself but lots of people are doing it to avoid conflict with the police. This is causing a concern with the police officer because of the increase in phone robbery in many places and if these are gang member, it can cause life to be lost. Even though the police had devoted more resources to combat the theft, but accessibility of police is quite low. Therefore, people usually like to take action alone neglecting the danger that they might find. Therefore, police came up with further and better solution called 'kill switch'. Which automatically make your phone unavailable and unattractive to the thieves.

What is Kill switch? How is it beneficial to protect your personal information on your phone?

Does the Net allow more freedom or is it a tool for governments and businesses to control us? The Net allows both. The users can roam freely to their discretion where and what they want to put onto the web. It is just a matter of a country censoring the content, or the user self-censoring what is to be put on the web. Also, the governments and businesses both can use the Net to their advantage. The government can learn and find out various information of various individuals and trends of the public through the Net's social networking websites and other portal that have discussion between citizens themselves. Business are able to keep track of trends to see what is happening, such as the stock prices to what people like to eat, listen to, what they like to use. Thus the businesses are able to stay in business a little easier through knowing the information from the web. The businesses can also advertise themselves through the net, and that way, it is actually faster than having actual offline campaigns and advertisement. Therefore, the net can allow us both. We are free to use it more than let it control us. It's just a matter of fact that higher class society, social ranking, or economic status-ed has more chances to controlling the net due to their connections with the higher ups. Yet, censorship and surveillance is everywhere, and thus doesn't allow absolute freedom.

How would this help you? These tools could help us by providing us with at least some more sense of security that what we barely have left now. Because we are often on the Internet, we are exposed to the danger of being seen and tracked by others. These tools help us stay invisible and informed. The use of encryption is used as well as proxies to hide user IP addresses. The free tools are basically for us to be aware of what is being tracked of our online activity, and how we can prevent it with the software.

Answer these questions 1. What kind of malware is heartbleed? 2. How is it dangerous to internet users? 3. What security measure should a user use to protect themselves?

Heartbkeed isn't a malware, what it does is that it finds the hole or ways to get into a system of which points out the opening in a security system. then a malware of some sort uses that to get into the system. it isn't direct towards normal internet users so there is no concern there. but companies with a large system are the targets. for example google or the NSA. these organiations now use Open SSL.
