The United States is set to deploy facial recognition technology on drones.\nAccording to a contract between RealNetworks and the U.S. Air Force, the facial recognition software will be used on small drones as part of special operations missions.\nThis contract does not describe putting facial recognition software on large Predator and Reaper drones that will make decisions about who to assassinate in a war zone.\nThe contract describes a use-case where teams of special operations soldiers use the facial recognition technology on smaller reconnaissance drones during operations in foreign countries.\nFor years, privacy advocates have been worried about the pairing of facial recognition technology with drone technology.
