Description

CBP Droney North Dakota Patch — Customs and Border Protection “Droney” MQ-9 Grand Forks North Dakota Embroidered Patch

Droney goes to North Dakota — CBP’s unmanned eye on the northern border.

This CBP “Droney” North Dakota patch is a morale patch featuring the unofficial “Droney” mascot — a personified MQ-9 Predator/Reaper drone character — representing CBP Air and Marine Operations’ unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) mission at Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota.

CBP operates MQ-9 Predator B unmanned aircraft from Grand Forks, North Dakota, providing aerial surveillance and reconnaissance along the northern border with Canada. The Grand Forks UAS operation is a critical component of CBP’s layered border security strategy, using the MQ-9’s advanced sensors — including electro-optical/infrared cameras, synthetic aperture radar, and maritime radar — to detect and track cross-border threats across vast stretches of remote terrain. The “Droney” character adds humor to a serious mission, personifying the UAS with personality and charm. These morale patches are popular among UAS operators and support personnel who spend long hours monitoring border activity from ground control stations.

This patch is CBP Droney’s North Dakota assignment.

Perfect For: CBP AMO UAS operators at Grand Forks, MQ-9 Predator drone enthusiasts, northern border security professionals, and CBP morale patch collectors.

Droney watches the north — CBP Grand Forks.
