Tijuana believes in unmanned air systems (UAS). The city plans to use UAS to monitor traffic, evaluate accident scenes, detect landslides and control wildfires.
The purchase is part of the city’s effort to increase efficiency through technology. So far, the only municipality in Mexico that uses remotely piloted aircraft is Puebla in central Mexico, which launched a UAS programme in October after acquiring three small unmanned aircraft.

According to UAS Vision in Mexico, the UAS programmes in Puebla and Tijuana have yet to stir up the level of public controversy that’s taking place in the United States, where Congress has required the Federal Aviation Administration to open up domestic airspace to UAS by 2015. Current regulations prohibit use of UAS in populated areas or near airports.
