ARGUS-IS, or Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging
System, is small enough to fit easily into an unmanned drone. It wields a 1.8-gigapixel video camera
that can distinguish objects as small as six inches from a 22,000 foot
altitude. This high resolution makes ARGUS capable of viewing 15 square
miles at one time, meaning it’s powerful enough to observe a
medium-sized city.
The so-called “Patriot” Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act, and the NDAA have already authorized the federal government to conduct domestic surveillance without probable cause or a warrant. Police departments of several major cities anticipate using drones soon. Is this really the America we want? See the incredible capabilities of these unmanned aircraft:
