A U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Air and Marine, flight crew put down a CBP unmanned aircraft system in the Pacific Ocean 20 miles southwest of San Diego, at about 1:15 a.m. PST Monday. While on patrol off the Southern California coast, the unmanned aircraft, a maritime variant of the Predator B, experienced a mechanical failure. The crew determined that the UAS would be unable to return to where it originated in Sierra Vista, Ariz., and put the aircraft down in the water. The cause of the failure is unknown. There were no injuries as a result of this emergency landing.
