Does your town have it's own surveillance drone? Check here.

Get out the tin foil hats boys.

Drone map

I live too close to an international Airport that is also an airforce base AND a major research centre for the FAA.. as in less than 5 miles from one of the runways (that do not face towards where I live) so no drones here

Apparently no one here knows about the government mapping agency. Ill keep my trap shut, but I'd be more worried about them if I had something to worry about.

Wonder what they're doing at the University of Wisconsin to warrant a drone?

Nothing out where I live, but Austin has them there for the DPS. Yaaay...

Cornell University is listed. So, yes.

Cornell Universitys expired so I think its a no for you

VCU has one too. I have no idea what for....

I know they have one here, because it hit the paper. Although "surveillance drone" sounds a whole lot creepier than "RC helicopter with a camera on it", which is what the thing looks like. It's sure not going to creep up on you.

lol nothing in Illinois, we have no money

Hell, SoFla? We probably have 10 of them.

In reply to cwh:

Probably owned by the local import/export businesses so they can keep an eye on Johnny Law .

For those who don't watch the news:

Drone free until 2015!

I never thought my home improvement projects would have to include AA guns..

Looks like it's time to buy some explosives and my own RC helicopter.

Lol

You know that map shows drones not surveillance drones. There is a difference. A drone simply means an unmanned aircraft of a certain size. Those universities have UAVs for automated flight research not surveillance but no need to bring up facts.

we've got one

Regarding the UAVs at colleges:

Several major colleges offer courses in UAV piloting because flying an unmanned aircraft is a completely different experience due to the lack of feed back. There are also several that offer majors in it.

ERAU offered a similar course while I was there.

There was also a competition where we built a small one that would run a search pattern for specific objects.

Hey, you ever try to spend a Trillion Dollars? It isn't easy. They're doing the best they can Quit your bitching.

i'll just leave this here..
