Palominas, Arizona
-- April 14 (ABP) -- American
Border Patrol pushes the technology envelope ahead by flying
the Border Hawk UAV using an autonomous GPS guidance system with
infrared camera equipment aboard. The flight was made in the
early morning hours so that visual contact could be maintained
with the aircraft. Missions will be flown in full darkness very
soon. Testing continued
after 7 am using high resolution day vision camera equipment.
