Police force to use domestic drones for tracking
Turkey’s Police Department is getting ready to start employing the first domestically produced unmanned aerial vehicle for surveillance tracking purposes.
Named 'Uçankaya', the drone collaboratively produced by Hacettepe Teknokent and a domestic firm with the support of security engineers will be taking off within two months.
The drone will initially be used for collective events, narcotics and traffic. As a result, helicopters will no longer be necessary.
The unmanned aerial vehicles will contain zoom cameras with a 360 degree radius and will be able to capture footage in HD quality. The drone will also operate a special program which will allow it to distinguish the presence of hashish amongst corn fields using a color detection system.
