The aircraft is equipped with optical and infrared sensing technologies, with real-time communication to a ground station. In 2008, a prototype made a first test flight at Las Palmas Air Force Base.[2] Since then, a scale prototype has successfully made more than 20 flights in and around the resort of Chorrillos.
