Drone sensing volumes

We are in the midst of a global turn to drone. Following their establishment as icons contemporary warfare, drones increasingly deployed range more-than-military applications. Interrogating this diverse ecosystem platforms, scholars have examined ways which see, sense and manoeuvre, asserting that they enable distinct perspectives rendering visible expanded extended sensory terrains. In parallel, from across beyond social sciences mobilising concept volume (re)consider conceptions space three-, rather than two-dimensional terms, with complex heights depths. Thinking at intersection these discussions has explored once acting in, enacting, capturing comprising volume.
