Manufactured by the Latvian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) company Fixar, the drones have a range of up to 100 kilometres and can fly for up to three hours, according to the Military Africa website.
The FIXAR 007 is also equipped with a variety of sensors, including a high-resolution camera, a thermal imaging camera, and a laser rangefinder that the Ghana army can use to monitor its borders, track down criminals, and search for missing people.
