Just when you thought all this stuff about increased surveillance into every aspect of our lives and nuking the 4th Amendment to the Bill of Rights could not get any worse, it just got a whole lot worse.
Washington Technology reports on a new project that is funded by The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which will put on planes an ultra high resolution, multi-gigapixel camera surveillance system that can track thousands of targets over tens of square miles. Giga pixel cameras are not out yet, and multi-giga pixel camera will read a newspaper from a the sky. While this is great for overseas threats, what happens when it is used against us here in the USA?
Welcome to 1984 my friends…
ObjectVideo to provide surveillance technology for DARPA
ObjectVideo will provide the ground station component for a new class of aircraft-based surveillance systems under a three-year, $1.6 million contract the company has with the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency. The system is being developed under DARPA’s Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System program.The goal of the program is to develop a compact system that combines:
* A multi-gigapixel, high-resolution sensor;
* Wide-field optics;
* An ultra-high-bandwidth, real-time airborne processing system; and
* A ground station for interactive multi-target designation and tracking.The processing system can simultaneously and continuously detect and track the presence of thousands of small or large targets over an area covering tens of square miles.
The system’s ground station, provided by ObjectVideo, will display, analyze, manipulate and archive the data gathered from the airborne surveillance components. ObjectVideo’s intelligent video software suite will be used to send automated alerts and for video forensics.
OjectVideo is based in Reston, Va.
