According to policy of Merseyside, the job of this new technology goes to allow that more policemen are used in the patrolling of the streets. “We constantly try to have more men in the streets and to maximize the technology is a powerful way to obtain this”, said the assistant manager of the policy of Merseyside, Simon Byrne. The robot-aerial one is quiet, has a meter of length, weighs less of one kilo and can record clear images the 500 meters of height. It also can be equipped with cameras that film in the dark one. Phase of tests The first tests of the mini-helicopter, that was developed by the Army, go to happen in June. The experience phase goes to last three months. The policy also intends to perhaps use the flying object in the monitoramento of the traffic and until as support in operations with firearms - since few units of the British policy only can use this type of armament. The mini-helicopters can be controlled remotely or to use navigation systems preprogrammed way GPS (navigation satellite). The images registered for the robots are caught in vehicles of support of the policy or in the room of central command. “For us, this is a form to capture criminal with good relation cost-benefit and can use technologies that we already currently use in our vehicles and helicopter”, he added Byrne.
