US Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Office of Air and Marine announced that it concluded surveillance operations along the U.S. side of the border of Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence Seaway, and the border of New York and Ontario on June 25, 2009. CBP currently has six Predator Bs providing border security surveillance capacity with superior optical equipment and great persistence.
On June 20th, UAVs from North Dakota and Arizona were launched and executed law enforcement missions within their respective airspace. And so UAVs are slowly taking over from other assets. With 20 hour loiter time, CBP expects to increase its efficiency and do its job better.
