The plan to build a single centralized overseeing system doesn't seem to be the smartest choice security-wise.

Amen. But it will probably take a full-scale war to make people (and nations) aware of the security implications of armed remote-controlled robots. Some of them we can only guess at.

Future war: nations will hack each other's drones and use those drones to attack their owner? (or a third party, to provoke counter-attack)

Maybe we can have special drones to hack and take over other drones. That'd be pretty cool in a command and conquer sort of way.
