Discover how the Force Multiplier program was rapidly deployed and scaled in support of the Home Office in the United Kingdom —combining airborne ISR capability, operational readiness, and in-country partnership to support one of Europe’s most demanding maritime security environments.
In the Case Study…
On a crowded summer day in the English Channel, hundreds of white sailboats filled one of the world’s busiest waterways. Somewhere among them was a suspected trafficking vessel running dark, identified only by a blurry photograph. Less than an hour later, a PAL Aerospace Force Multiplier aircraft had found it—and maintained covert surveillance for six hours until interception. The upcoming UK Home Office case study reveals how airborne ISR-on-demand is helping transform border security, from small boat monitoring to organized crime disruption, evidence-grade prosecution support, and international maritime operations.
