Constant Surveillance of Entire Cities Now Possible with Latest Drone TechNicholas West The new sensor system can instantly see an area roughly the size of a small city with an all-seeing eye according to retired Lieutenant, David A. Deptula. The next generation of surveillance tech sees the landscape through a 1.8 billion pixels camera, the highest resolution yet created. War profiteer BAE Systems is the creator of the DARPA-funded technology which is slated for use inside pods attached to drone aircraft, both unarmed and armed, although deployment details are classified. Using a touchscreen interface that can produce up to 65 windows for analysis, military observers can see down to the individual object level to track the movements of vehicles and people. Beyond the real-time surveillance, the system can store everything for future review right down to the minutes and seconds. Drones stationed beyond the border, and highly classified due to national security, could be coupled with solar powered UAVs and a laser-energy based systems to keep systems aloft indefinitely. With nearly unlimited funding, our electronic tracking regardless of innocence or guilt is becoming a permanent fixture to the skies above.
