Drones generate more surveillance data than national security systems can process

Evidence

As an information engineer reports, “The data-processing infrastructure for national security is not designed for the amounts and types of data being generated by unmanned aerial drones.” As a result, “advanced and accurate analysis techniques are urgently needed by the people who are tasked with categorizing, indexing, annotating, and drawing conclusions from the petabytes of data collected daily in theatre operations.” — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 790
