1.8 gigapixel ARGUS-IS. World's highest resolution video surviellience platform by DARPA.

1 million terabytes a day saved forever.

The ARGUS array is made up of several cameras and other types of imaging systems. The output of the imaging system is used to create extremely large, 1.8GP high-resolution mosaic images and video.

The U.S. Army, along with
Boeing, has developed and is preparing to deploy a new unmanned aircraft
called the “Hummingbird.” It’s is a VTOL-UAS (vertical take-off and
landing unmanned aerial system). Three of them are being deployed to
Afghanistan for a full year to survey and spy on Afghanistan from an
altitude of 20,000 feet with the ability to scan 25 square miles of
ground surface.

with 2 terabyte hard drives going for $110 on a good day, that's $55 million a day on hard drives.

WHOA ! i wonder if some of the insiders bought West Dig. or Seagate stock.

With the correct command and control you''ll easily win the up and coming revolution. The only solution is smoke and a lot it, and some thermal goggles.
