taken during a test flight by a tactical Ehécatl S4 aerial surveillance
system. This is one of the operational unmanned aerial systems (UAS)
developed by the Mexican company Hydra Technologies for civil protection
surveillance, public safety, ecology, among other purposes. Some of these
systems have been acquired by other countries, and the company claims that
their operational costs are lower than their competitors. The neighbouring
inactive peak of Nevado de Colima (4260 m elevation) is also visible in the
video.
Volcán de Colima has been undergoing an episode of lava dome growth since
early 2007 at an extremely low extrusion rate. Minor explosive activity has
also been registered. A new lava lobe was first observed on 20 February 2010
on the W flank of the dome, which is continuing to cause occasional
rockfalls.
