Video from a Sept. 23 standoff shows how APD's drone was deployed.
An expert in drone technology explained how that type of aircraft is now taking a more active role in tense situations."It's cheap, it's easy, and it's quick," said Gene Robinson, an expert with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
"There is no question that it is getting harder and harder to build out our police forces in the current climate that the force multiplier is going to have to fall to technology, robotics. Both air and ground are going to be significant players," said Robinson."These are capabilities that are emerging that lend themselves to flying in close to, say, a vehicle to look into a window to see if that gun that that individual is holding is either a plastic gun, a B.B.
"They just happened to position themselves over the individual. And here's where the psychological effect comes in. The individual looked at the drone, saw that he was not going to be able to escape it and walked out of the woods and said, well, when I saw the drone, I figured you all had me. So I just gave myself up," said Robinson.
Fixed Wing Drones can fly up to three hours. Quad-copters, according to Robinson, may soon be modified to provide elements to help capture suspects.
