watch, read, google - "after next-gen technology" - and other fascinating breadcrumbs....,




VeteransToday | Mombasa (WNT) The Adamus Group announces an 18 month project in partnership with governments of Africa, the USAID and the International Wildlife Foundation to operate two Skyships on their first “peaceful” mission.

The advanced LTA (lighter than air) defense platforms have been used in counter-terrorism and drug interdiction efforts in the past. This is the first application of “blimps,” each supplied with the most powerful sensor arrays ever to have been used for a non-military mission. The platforms, capable of continent wide missions are equipped with advanced sensor packages, synthetic aperture radar, low light high definition streaming video and “next generation” FLIR (infared) optics. 

Communication is through direct microwave and satellite up-link.

Several television networks have shown an interest in participation as the platform capabilities, previously “military only” technology have, not only the ability to aid in the understanding of wildlife, climate and agricultural development and coastal marine environments but have wide geological and even archaeological capabilities as well.

Project manager James Hanke of Adamus told reporters in Mombasa:
“We thank the US government and Department to of Homeland Security for making available these advanced capabilities.  It is our hope, in what we deep a “ploughshares” effort, to provide a bank of data that will inspire a generation of scientists of every discipline.
This project, we predict, will have an immediate impact on securing both wildlife resources and, at the same time, supply a wealth of previously unavailable data to ensure responsible and productive land management and resource development.
In many cases, we begin with a ‘blank slate,’ we have little idea what we will find but, for certain, our ‘after next generation’ imagery and sensor capability will open, not only new vistas for investment but tourism as well.”
The advanced airships are to begin operation in first quarter 2013.  A number of universities have indicated a desire to acquire data and a ”mission based’ tasking committee of scholars and scientists will be overseeing operations in concert with wildlife management and security officials.

For the wildlife, man. Geez you're suspicious.

The guy said in the video he would want on in every metropolitan city..doesn't sound like he interested in tracking buffalo to me...

CNu said...

Did you guys follow the breadcrumb trail for the quasi-governmental entity behind this? Also, look at the other project these Duff has these busters associated with http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/07/29/adamus-tasked-with-cern-collider-site-replacement/

Could you find STI outside of NASA STI?

CNu said...

The application of the technology falls into the realm of governance inevitability, it's the convergence of the state of the art military C3I with Victorian era lift that I find utterly fascinating. Then to peep this jawnt here https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:r-fVLeiAzAYJ:ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20120013601_2012014587.pdf+&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShyeCN4kPHszx6eT9LrAnHh2Er4UOWUoDxIYVRE9SPeiOZmUDwP2yfEuUHwrse-ASab-p889pxC1y4-nrCLTUM87mOOG6XZ_-DAULvef1hUkEfLAwH_F2h424AASkH8b6iheKnm&sig=AHIEtbQvQGxBec1hfttrjyz3Qez5YDzyIQ&pli=1

...Bloods, Crips, et. al. Bangers, more than enuff deserving Urban_Fodder for bureaucratic VideoTrackers to sink their teeth into....

lol ...

CNu said...

lol, if your takeaway from this was that this technology is for bureaucratic video trackers, (who have more than enough to content themselves with streetlight cams and gunshot sensors) then you're GENUINELY not capable of keeping up with the pace hereabouts. Duff gave more than enough away to let you know that this isn't for your nostalgically middle-class, food-powered, make-work benefit. Rather, this is some strenuously post next-gen evaluation and governance technology. This is long-term, sustainable, post-cull, GATTACA Darwinian threshing-floor technology for the long Dark Ages struggle for future feudal supremacy.

Ed Dunn said...

Streetlight cams can be taken out with green lasers and gunshot cams can be taken out with firecrackers or even better loud audio recording of gunshots. but i do wonder how high these balloons fly as they are definitely in range of 7.62mm AA fire from the street level.

...C'mon, CNu, just exactly what is it you think they're gonna see with a blimp that would allow additional advantage to be taken of yourself/family in some fashion?? You planning a revolution, or sumthin'...?? BigBro can already trash your home/property anytime they want without a blimp, and they'll already have their hands full with useless eaters and parasites...---> http://www.dailykenn.com/page20121007B

CNu said...

.50 Cal mebbe but I'm picturing the 7.62 harmlessly bouncing off. I speck they cruise pretty dayyum high for their primary information aggregation mission. No Way they're within routine firing range of anything any inflated with hydrogen, now way, they're inflated with hydrogen instead of helium (increasing cost of helium notwithstanding) without the hydrogen conferring significant altitude and lift profile advantages.

LOOK BD. I've still got my sleeves rolled up and my hands greasy filthy dirty in the deployment, integration, and operational management of pedestrian livestock management technology. Instead of trying to pursue the angle of what you feebly imagine my interests and aims to be, instead, simply take up the homework assignment - it's not hard btw - and do some google searches on STI/Adamus etc..., you'll benefit far more from figuring out your seeds' place in the near future governance ecology than you will by attempting to triangulate my comparative place in the same.

umm..., you may wanna purge your browser cache and get rid of all that blue waffle detritus....,
