Human–Drone Interaction: Virtues and Vices in Systemic Perspective

P. 217–229.

Burukina O. A., Inna Khavanova

The emergence and use of advanced technologies in today’s commerce has gradually grown into habitual practice, and the introduction of more modern weapons including UAVs to military operations is hardly a new challenge in the history of armed conflicts. The interim research results concerning attitudes to drone usage have highlighted a number of contradictions in national and international law and policies and revealed a certain inconsistency in the respondents’ attitudes partially caused by the different width of Overton windows devoted to drone expansion in the two countries, as well as by the use of the socio-cognitive tools currently changing the national attitudes and value systems as part of the national mentalities. The research has highlighted a number of contradictions that proved to be more profession-specific, age and gender-specific.
