RCMP to test drones near Canada/U.S. border near Peace Garden

North of Minot, the RCMP is taking flight with a new kind of border security test. Over the next several days, law enforcement in southern Manitoba will use restricted airspace between the Tolstoi port of entry and the International Peace Garden to test a range of drone systems. The project is part of Canada’s RPAS Corridor initiative — an effort to explore how remotely piloted aircraft can safely and effectively patrol stretches of the 5,500-mile Canada–U.S. border. The trial runs through October 25.
