It analyzes drone usage in surveillance and studies the privacy concerns and the possibility of bad use of gathered information. Also, it takes care of legal matters regarding such systems, especially with data protection and accountability when using drones. Since drones work on their own, the report states that it is still tough to put guidelines in place that stop misuse. It covers the important issues in using blockchain, the Internet of Things and drones for surveillance and offers approaches to deal with these issues and gain the benefits of their use.
