Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a utility tool created to provide a simple task and provide an important impact in matters of national defence, especially on the military side to monitor terrorists in camp areas and also on the borders of the country, to preserve the well-being and prosperity of the people in our country is always guaranteed. However, UAVs have been misused by certain parties to fulfil their interests. This lack of integrity in the use of UAV equipment should be curbed so that it does not continue with proper disclosure and understanding. Every day, various issues arise due to the misuse of technology, which will affect society and the country. Therefore, the government is making every effort to deal with the problem because the limited awareness of the use of UAVs is very worrying, especially the monitoring from the authorities. The authorities should also play an important role in enacting regulations and laws against those who misuse these UAV devices.
