"Big Bird" is a unmanned cargo helicopter that can land and also capture the drug smugglers and illegal immigrants. It will not run out of fuel because of solar panels to charge the power for the helicopter. The helicopter doesn't have a driver but a crew, the computer is hooked up to a camera with a night vision and thermal vision.


"Mole" the moles job is to detect tunnels underground. It's small and is attached to a ATV as a trailer. It tells if the ground is hollow by telling the density. Border agents can find tunnels and bring the drug smugglers and illegal immigrants to Justice.
