"...we switch sombreros every hour on the hour"
If that’s what they are admitting it must be at least three times as good.
Bet they can pick out individual lice on a 3rd grader’s head.
i think this is also called Gorgon Stare...
Heh, heh, that big one’s thinking, “Wait til he goes down the stairs and I accidentally step in front of him.
Among the missions of the armed drone is to detect and defeat sniper ambushes, including ambush by mini-drones that might be employed by terrorists or assassins. I think all of these leaks about ARGUS and drones are aimed at softening up public opinion to awareness of an already existing presence of armed drones over the US.
Here is a prior FR article on ARGUS that I posted with DARPA info:

Here is a PBS program on drones that features ARGUS:
They used a surplus spy camera to make 4000 dpi images back when digital was just starting to overtake film.
Someone has developed a 50 gigapixel camera as a project. Bet it cost lots more than this one.
Thanks Doogle.
Guess it’s time to trade in that Instamatic.
Article, and # 7.
Check out other comments, too.

It's sad members of the State Regulated Press (SRP)- like the New York Times and Washington Post aren't allowed to cover stories like this..
Thanks for the links - interesting stuff...
Note that the youtube at the thread link was taken from the PBS special! You can see a tiny PBS symbol on at 0:26 below the ARGUS-armed attack drone.
As I said:
“Among the missions of the armed drone is to detect and defeat sniper ambushes, including ambush by mini-drones that might be employed by terrorists or assassins.”
See my tag line for a possible Islamist/assassin attack vector that the ARGUS system could defend against by flying cover over Andrews just up-river from Quantico in position to detect and attack any attempted mini-drone helicopter or other kinetic drone attack on Air Force One in the vulnerable “runway kill zone” during take-off.
No on-board explosives would be required on the attacking drone as the kinetic mass of a GPS-guided drone applied in a huge jet turbofan would bring down an aircraft just as the Canada Geese did to Captain Sully.
In related news, interest in wigs and mustashe stores is on the rise.
