ARGUS Featured on PBS Nova

A PBS' "Nova" program on January 23, entitled "Rise of the Drones," featured Dr. John Antoniades, technical group director for ISR Exploitation Technologies in the Technology Solutions business area. The show explored the cutting edge technologies that are writing a new chapter in aviation history, including ARGUS-IS, or the Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System, which flies aboard an unmanned helicopter. Developed collaboratively by Technology Solutions and ISR Solutions, this 1.8-Gigapixel camera has the most powerful real-time, high-resolution video sensor, enabling unprecedented capability in finding, tracking and monitoring events in real time.

Pure evil.

But can it find Waldo?

Are you kidding? We're just getting started.

As a technology, it's pretty tame and fairly neutral. It's not designed to kill , maim or torture. It may be used for evil purpose, as it may be used for good. Imagine if you will the those who occasionally get lost in the wilderness. Fly over the area with this baby, equipped with infrared cameras and let a computer have its way with the data... home for breakfast!

Zoom in and see if you can find Bradley Manning while he was there being treated worse than a caged animal.

Thanks Dr. John Antoniades. I hope they paid you enough!

THE END IS NEAR

"deployed in the field"

[Michael DAmbrosio]

No matter how much they govern there will always be evil, no matter how much they watch, there will always be people who don't give a damn.

1.8 gigapixels and yet once again I'm trolled by a 480p vid...the irony

[p51d007]

And THIS is what they are showing us...it's what they DON'T show us that scares me.

Steppenwolf said it best more than 20 years ago. "The police force is watching the people and the people just can't understand.. Oh there is a monster on the loose, it's got our heads in a noose and it just sits there watching."
