Effective border security is essential for maintaining national safety and managing immigration. This helps prevent illegal activities such as smuggling, trafficking, and unauthorized entry. Traditional methods of border monitoring are heavily reliant on human patrols which can be inadequate given the cost and labor-intensity given the challenging terrain involved. This report presents an advanced unmanned solution designed to significantly enhance border security through currently used drone technology using integrated autonomy by the adoption of ORNL’s sophisticated software platform known as Mapster-Nomad.
