We did use these for drug interdiction missions. We could use the radar to find moving boats and vehicles and the IR system to find donkey trains coming across the boarder.

They've been thinking about buying a new COIN aircraft. This should be a contender, although personally I'm more partial to the original concept of the Bronco.
