Iannotta talks about the new breed of aircraft. There was a time when drone was applied only as shorthand for military or CIA aircraft equipped with cameras or missiles and cameras. People in the business of building highly networked aircraft took offense because the word incorrectly conveyed an unsophisticated flying machine droning" away up there, hoops and commanders who take the Law of Armed Conflict seriously objected to the incorrect implication that no one was in control or held responsible. Anti-war activists branded drone to mean robotic death from the skies.
