[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2162111, member: 42"] Like I said in the other thread on the same subject a while back...Imagine conducting testing to find out/fine tune the capabilities of drones. How horrible. If one is concerned about using drones, I get it...but getting concerned because the systems are being tested? What do you expect them to do, duct tape a monkey with a set of binoculars to 'em? Surveillance systems must be capable of detecting and identifying stuff, or more importantly the sensors on board the systems need to be able to deliver imagery that allows the [I]operator[/I] to detect and identify stuff. There are standards out there; XX system must be capable of detecting movement at XX miles, capable of allowing operator to identify man vs. vehicle at xx miles, capable of allowing operator to discriminate between a truck and a car at xx miles etc...having a requirement for the on board sensors be capable of delivering imagery that allows the operator to identify if a person is armed is a useful thing. Otherwise why have them? Getting outraged over a drone that can detect and identify stuff is as stupid as being outraged that your mugger has bullets in his gun. Get pissed about the gun if you want, but not that it's being used for what it is designed to be used for. I'd be more pissed to find out that we spent all this money on drones and nobody bothered to find out if they worked as advertised first. (good luck hitting one with a .50bmg) [/QUOTE]
