ABP, a non-profit Arizona corporation, is utilizing state-of-the-art tech systems for the last eight years in its border regions. ABP uses Cessna TU-206 for longer-range mapping of its border fence from air, besides using the Challenger II for close-in surveillance.
ABP will showcase the Border Hawk during a rally at Wesley Bolin Plaza that is located near the state capitol building, with special show featuring the video on the Open Border Arizona.
According to ABP’s website, a rally known as Phoenix Rising is held for supporting Arizona as well as the rule of law, and will include feature speakers like the ex-Congressman Tom Tancredo, Maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce.
