The Border Patrol hopes to add smaller drones to its surveillance arsenal and will begin testing the unmanned aircraft this month in the Tucson sector, Tucson.com reports.
The agency uses bigger drones, but Border Patrol is looking for something that is small enough to easily transport and fly in hard-to-access areas.
Agents will test three series of drones: Puma, Raven and InstantEye Quadcopter.
The drones may also include sensors, infrared cameras and facial-recognition technology.
