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.
