US Border Patrol deploying sixth predator drone
The US Customs and Border Protection agency added a second Predator B aircraft in Texas and will soon deploy another based in Arizona, bring total active drones on the Mexico border up to six by the end of the year.
Since they were first deployed six years ago, the unmanned aircraft are credited with apprehending more than 7,500 people. Although drones can remain airborne for 30 hours, missions typically run eight or nine hours with ground crews rotating in control trailers. With infrared viewing capability, they are especially valuable in night operations. Smugglers of humans, drugs and guns are the primary target.
“It’s like any other law enforcement platform,” said Lothar Eckardt, who directs the Office of Air and Marine’s Predator operation out of Corpus Christi Naval Air Station. “It’s no different than a helicopter.”
