They are small, nimble and nearly silent, and they could keep tabs on law-abiding citizens from skies near you.’’ Drones are very valuable resources to emergencies and missing person searches because drones can do almost half of what manned aviation can do for 2% of the price. Although drones have cameras and can be used for stalking or to intentionally be used to watch someone, they can be used for positive gain, such as border patrol, missing person searches and other emergencies Border patrol has become more efficient because of the use …show more content…

Small, highly maneuverable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or Drone) may aid and support search efforts in many situations for a fraction of the cost in risk, and resources.’’ (SEARCH WITH AERIAL RC MULTIROTOR (S.W.A.R.M.) ‘’Each of our aircraft have the capability of “looking down” with high resolution video cameras to survey and search an area.’’ (SEARCH WITH AERIAL RC MULTIROTOR (S.W.A.R.M.) doing so helps find a missing person much easier.
