Canada-based ING Robotic Aviation sold two drones to Keymerging Technologies, a Mombasa, Kenya-based high-tech security company, according to a press release at MarketWatch. They will be used for surveillance, the report said.

Keymerging Technologies bought the ING rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicle systems, or drones, for use in East Africa, the press release said. The drones will be used for aerial surveillance with both electro-optical and infrared cameras, in order to provide a wide range of imagery and monitoring support for their clients.

The sale of the drones includes cameras, ground control system and ancillary equipment, the press release said. ING is providing a two-week training package in East Africa with delivery due in late August.

“Responder will be used as a flexible surveillance tool,” said Ian Glenn, CEO of ING Robotic Aviation. “Our equipment will be used to get the right information into the right hands at the right time.”

The camera system can provide real time still and video images in visual and infrared sections of the spectrum. Images can be rendered in a range of ways “to improve situational awareness,” the press release said.

 Keymerging said it works to identify leading-edge technologies and help deploy them across Central and East Africa.
