Drone aircraft, otherwise known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), have been used by the military in times of war for more than 60 years, but their capabilities for purposes of criminal investigation have only recently been explored. Drones are best known for their ability to conduct close-up aerial surveillance and have recently been employed to guard our nation’s borders.
Surveillance drones may be equipped with sophisticated computerized imaging technology to obtain detailed photographs of terrain, people, homes and small objects. Advanced drones are capable of deploying a diverse range of computerized systems, advanced imaging, infrared sensor systems, heat sensors, GPS navigational systems, movement sensors and even automated license plate readers.
