DARPA shows off 1.8-gigapixel surveillance drone, can spot a terrorist from 20,000 feet

2013-01-28 17:07:43| Extremetech

DARPA and the US Army have taken the wraps off ARGUS-IS, a 1.8-gigapixel video surveillance platform that can resolve details as small as six inches from an altitude of 20,000 feet (6km). ARGUS is by far the highest-resolution surveillance platform in the world, and probably the highest-resolution camera in the world, period.

DARPA begins development of ocean-launched, upwards-falling UAVs

2013-01-23 16:37:10| Extremetech

This "Upward Falling Payloads" (UFP) program is actually quite clever. First of all, the Navy needs to plant autonomous devices like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) inside of capsules across the ocean floor. From there, the device can hibernate inside of the protective capsule for years on end. When the Navy needs surveillance or ariel support, it can remotely trigger these devices, and they float to the surface. In other words, they fall upwards.

DARPA Wants Remote Control Pods To Hide UAVs On Seafloor

2013-01-17 15:53:42| rfglobalnet News Articles

Calling all communications experts, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a request for proposals on January 11 to support its Upward Falling Payload (UFP) program. The concept is to develop deployable, unmanned, distributed systems — like small UAVs — that lie in wait on the ocean floor in special containers, ready to launch and travel to the surface at a moment’s notice.
