These systems occupy a critical operational niche, bridging the gap between fixed surveillance infrastructure and manned aircraft. The inherently low acoustic profile and smaller size of SUAS allows them to operate nearly undetected, providing real-time intelligence, which is critical for situational awareness and operational planning. The information collected through SUAS aids in the detection, tracking, identification, and resolution of illegal activities, such as smuggling or unauthorized border crossings. Moreover, SUAS enhance the safety of CBP personnel by allowing them to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance missions from a distance without exposing agents to direct threats or hazardous environments.   [Read More...]
