DARPA Seeks Giant Surveillance Drones

HeadlineMar 17, 2004

Meanwhile the Pentagon agency DARPA is planning to seek designs to create giant surveillance blimps three times the size of the Goodyear blimp that could hover above a city or battlefied and monitor everything happening. This according to the website Defensetech. One DARPA official said QUOTE “We will apply this technology to track people emerging from buildings of interest and follow them as they move to new locations. Imagine the impact it will have if it tracks the movement of individuals for months.”
