Unmanned aircraft patrol

THE Mossos d’Esquadra is to de ‐ploy an unmanned air ‐craft to monitor mari ‐huana plantations, train lines and other critical areas across Catalonia.

The Mossos d’Esquadra will strengthen its Drone Unit with a new de ‐vice, an unmanned, drone‐style, fixed‐wing aircraft.

This new aircraft will be used to patrol criti ‐cal areas such as the AVE train lines, the coastline, and also in water areas to prevent marihuana planta ‐tions, which are often connected to rivers and ponds, due to the need for constant irri ‐gation.

According to a news source on Thursday, April 13, this unit, made up of a dozen of ‐ficers and pilots works throughout the territo‐ry of Catalonia, as it’s expected to further ex ‐pand its operational capacity.

Officials have now started a process to is ‐sue tenders in order to purchase this fixed ‐wing drone.

Police in Spain have decided to start using these drones due to shortcomings in the present multi‐rotor de‐vices that they use.

Coastal patrols can also be planned to de ‐tect and anticipate dangerous situations such weather phenom‐ena or potential waste spills at sea or on the banks of rivers.
