The literature on the ethics of drones is vast, but little attention has been paid to centrality consent. Where consent discussed, it tends be in controversial US context. To correct this oversight, article advances notion drone contract – reciprocal relationship between a host state and drone-wielding permit use territory former by latter. Why would or enter contract? remove consent? power accept removal permission? answer these questions, conceptualizes explores Sahel as paradigm case explore contours Drawing insights from contractarian just war thinking Charles Mills’s Racial Contract , identifies two types consent: colorblind (based assumptions shaping state-based international system laws war) racialized (steeped colonial legacies that sometimes frame contract, particularly when Western powers are involved). These shades shape how drone-wielder perceive violence, offering debates about violence theory.

This paper advocates for an integrated approach to exploring and analysing contemporary conflicts, especially in complex socio-political cultural contexts. It examines how a framework that incorporates cognitive, historical factors can enhance our understanding of these conflicts. Grounded the 'cognitive turn', idea combining cognitive social sciences insights understand human experiences actions, this draws on secondary sources demonstrate neglecting emotion-laden local contextual realities has undermined conflict analysis. Using as case studies US intervention Afghanistan French missions Sahel region it argues emotional blind spots led them overlook critical while focusing narrowly rational aspects The promotes development adoption cross-disciplinary theoretical models integrate influences, environmental conditions politico-historical contexts improve analysis outcomes.

There is a growing political interest in health reforms Africa, and many countries are choosing national insurance as their main financing mechanism for universal coverage. Although vaccination an essential service that can influence progress toward coverage, it not often prioritized by these systems. This paper highlights the potential gains of integrating into package services provided through recommends practical policy actions enable to harness benefits at population level.

In recent years, drones have become popular for various applications, including surveillance and delivery. Detecting classifying is crucial security regulatory purposes, as well improving the efficiency of drone operations. this work, we propose a human-AI collaboration framework detection, tracking, classification using multiple sensors, such ground radar pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. Our approach combines traditional signal processing machine learning to classify tracks, deep learning-based model detecting from video data. However, due limitations supervised learning, there are always scenarios where these models fail, unseen/untrained backgrounds, new aircraft types or signatures. To address issue, developed human-like proposed methodology that involves object detection referral policy trigger simulated human review event.We demonstrate effectiveness our through extensive simulations utilizing data collected radar, comparing it with standalone AI systems. We also evaluate policies different decision models. conclusion, has potential improve accuracy operations, while ensuring compliance enhancing security. Multiple sensors applied in events. This an important step towards addressing achieving full applications.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have experienced remarkable progress and widespread utilization, highlighting the need for robust detection classification systems to ensure safety security. This paper presents a comprehensive study on UAV payload classification, emphasizing fusion of multiple data sources enhance accuracy reliability. A system integrating radar Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera is developed evaluated. Experimental results demonstrate effectiveness proposed approach, achieving > 94% 90% classification. The findings underscore system's potential real-world applications in scenarios, addressing growing demands this field.
