Drone and Homeland Security
Introduction
Increased security threats caused by heightened global terror activities, for instance, sectarian groups or Mexican drug empires, has prompted the development of decisive technologies, which will respond directly to the increased sophistication of these radical groups. A reliable technology is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) commonly known as a drone. The drone not only investigates a terror environment but also conducts aerial strikes. The commencing research will analyze in detail the positive impacts of the drone to homeland security.
Following the increased number of casualties in World War II, proxy cold wars, and Gulf War, it became necessary to improvise military gear, which would limit the direct involvement of soldiers in a direct combat environment. Originally, a radical technology – the tank- proved decisive since soldiers could be taken to the heart of the war. However, as much as …show more content…
The CBP drone program has tightened its grip to ensure that border security is emphasized. The system supports security relief efforts for its DHS partner by streamlining Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) operations. OAM further expects to employ Predator B drones to all border regions with the command and control from a network of underground stations. Predator B is capable of providing high quality streaming video to first responders, and this is assessed through the proper usage of critical infrastructure. Secure Border Initiative (SBI) focuses on the role of operational requirements to support and document the acquisition efforts to develop, integrate technology and deploy tactical infrastructure to support CBP efforts to gain and maintain effective control of U.S land border areas (Goodyear, 2013, pp.
