The use of unmanned aerial vehicles in order to ensure the security of state borders is associated with a number of undeniable advantages:
Extended coverage of the territoryUAVs are capable of covering much larger territories in a shorter period of time compared to traditional ground surveillance operations. A standard check of 5 km of border territory takes about one and a half hours and requires at least two border guards. Drones can independently complete the same task in 40 minutes without human intervention. Microavia drones feature a scalable system architecture, with each device able to effectively cover an area of up to 6.2 x 6.2 miles (10 x 10 km).
Swift Response When it comes to border incidents, every second counts. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be deployed at a moment's notice, reaching hard-to-access areas in record time. The drone from Microavia can achieve speeds of up to 40 mph (65 km/h). Moreover, drones can be quickly redirected by assigning them new missions and routes on the fly.
Real-time trackingReal-time tracking with AI-powered object detection and alert systems. Real-time intelligence is streamed directly to operators, who respond to AI-detected alerts. With high automation, there's no need to monitor every station - what a person might miss, AI never will. With Microavia, you’re always one step ahead.
Round-the-Clock Surveillance State-of-the-art UAVs provide the capability for 24/7 patrol operations.Microavia drone wastes no time charging the battery, you don't have to wait for it to recharge. The drone-in-a-box system is arranged in such a way that it only takes 90 seconds to replace the battery and the drone is ready for operations again and again.
Data securityAll data will be transmitted via secure, encrypted communication channels, with an option to disable onboard data storage. Real-time streaming ensures that no sensitive data remains on the drone in case of loss.
Centralized flight managementMicroavia drone-in-a-box system integrates with other security systems and is remotely controlled. Fully autonomous operation with centralized control center. Operation without Internet access for maximum security. Easily scalable to dozens of stations, all managed seamlessly from a single control room. One interface, full control.
Cost-Effectiveness Despite the initial investment, the long-term use of drones significantly reduces border security expenses, delivering a substantial return on investment.
Enhanced Personnel Safety Drones can carry out high-risk missions without putting border patrol agents in harm's way. UAVs have the capability to detect incidents, report them in real-time, and request backup, potentially saving countless lives. Furthermore, the mere presence of unmanned aerial vehicles can serve as a powerful deterrent to would-be intruders.
According to data from the United States Border Patrol, over the course of a decade, a staggering 2,021 border patrol agents lost their lives in the line of duty along the Southwest border sector alone. They paid the ultimate price while carrying out their sworn responsibilities.
