The study comprises four parts: a brief historical study of UAV development and its rapidly expanding use in military and civilian contexts; an inventory of the privacy-sensitive aspects of UAV development in the private sector compared with the public sector; an analysis of the marketing materials of Canadian companies involved in the manufacture and sale of UAVs; and an investigation of knowledge and public opinion on UAVs in Canada and elsewhere.
