Anti-Terrorist Border Patrol UAV Proposed

Proxity Digital Networks says its Cyber Scout UAV could identify, neutralize terrorists mixing with illegals

A recent news story reported that some 190,000 illegal aliens from countries other than Mexico crossed our borders this year. Over 55,000 of these illegal aliens were detained by border patrol agents. Countries represented by the detainees included Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq. Proxity Digital Networks, Inc., a unit of Cyber Aerospace Corp., noted the story made the point that terrorists and weapons could readily mix in with and slip through our borders with the normal flow of illegal immigrants.

Cyber Aerospace is currently in development of their Cyber Scout UAV, which the company said could be used to deter such intrusions by identifying and/or neutralizing potential terrorists.

Determining the presence of unusual/suspicious crossers, Border Patrol could send in the Cyber Scout UAV to investigate. A stealth-type vehicle, the Scout would secretly land and scrutinize the targets using high-tech devices, report its findings, and/or proceed to disable threatening hostile individuals or groups. Cyber Scouts could also be placed at strategic locations offering long term surveillance.

The Cyber Scout is a 10 lb. UAV designed to carry a wide array of cameras, sensors, weapons, and instruments that can perform surveillance in remote or dangerous locations, operate innovative reconnaissance, advanced video surveillance, and target acquisition. The Company plans to have it fly to a location, land and use its own power to operate and, if necessary, use a weapons payload to neutralize a dangerous situation. As sleepers, these craft could land at a select location and quietly monitor the surrounding area under their own power. A VTOL craft, when the mission is completed it would return to home base or move on to check out the next threat readily without the use of a runway.
