The Border Patrol started using these about 3 years ago and has only increased the fleet size since then. The Predator B UAV can be (and has been for BP uses) equipped with a sensing package that includes infra red, heat sensing, and long range cameras. The Predator B when properly equipped has a 8-10 mile viewing radius that equates to a 2-3 mile ground surveillance radius. I love what the eye in the sky can do for our operations.

Great Airframe. While deplayed to Iraq I had direct contact with the Predator, as an Intell assett, the Predator preformed very well in the heat and sandy conditions. I highly recomend, having a fleet, one in the air, one on stand-by to over lap any operation, taking longer than four hours, and one in services. Operators, should be well trained in all operations to get an understanding of PIR for each mission.

Drop and run. My kind of fun. What's not good about it ? The price maybe. Makes it hard for me to save up enough to get one for myself.
