In todays society UAVs are currently used for a number of different reasons. A few of those reasons would pertain to hurricane hunting and 3D mapping, search and rescue, or wild life protection. These are good because the FAA along with companies who support UAVs do not have to worry about pilots losing there lives. Anytime someone can control or help change a bad outcome and not have to put anyone else life at risk, is always a good thing. The regulation behind civilian UAVs is in the works. Since there has been an increase in these aircraft, it has been a big safety concern for the FAA. I personally do not see the UAVs being integrated into the NAS, also known as the National Airspace System. It would be to much to try and control in the sky dealing with unmanned aircraft let alone with the general aviation. It seams there would be a higher risk for accidents and a lot more eyes watching systems and better aerial separation. It just seams a little to far fetched to integrate something that could be so hazardous.
From a military aspect UAVs have become a new phenomenon. I believe one of the most positive things about military UAV is they do not have to worry about losing a pilots life. Also UAVs used during recon are usually lighter which means they are going to be quieter and thus possibly more vulnerable in a greater aspect, (such as deeper investigations, or reconnaissance).
