Exclusive Photos of the Draganflyer X6 UAV: Police Edition
The Draganflyer X6 has been around for a bit now, but only recently have Canadian law enforcers begun using it to serve and profit protect. Here’s the first look at these flying UAVs in uniform.
The X6 is a spy drone with wireless video and still cameras (in hi-def, infra-red and 0 lux flavors) that can fly autonomously, or as a remote-controlled bot. It has 11 sensors (including gyros, accelerometers, barometers, magnetometers and GPS) and is so easy to pilot, a Wii gamer could do it. Now it will be used by the Ontario Provincial Police and the Saskatoon Police to patrol crime scenes and help gather evidence.
At it’s core, this is the same Draganflyer X6 we’ve come to know and love in the past, but now with a shiny police badge and a healthy distaste for crime. Canadian perps, be afraid. Be very, very afraid. [Draganfly]

That’s a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 slung under its belly. Lovely camera, but odd choice considering its very short zoom.
Good Idea but why pay $22K of taxpayers dollars for a luxury toy. I am sure their are toy manufactures who could have produced something for a fraction of that price….i bet china could produce a knock off for $500.
Love them. Are they in Australia. Probably its that bright stationery light I see in the sky at night??
hmm… baby H/K from Terminator anyone?
Well, if you were a Soldier, and you were about to run in a house; you can appreciate such capbilities to KNOW what is on the other side of the wall at the Kalat!!
