These Sensors Rock!

Sooooo sneaky. The Pentagon is work­ing with North Dakota researchers to turn man-​​made stones into hid­den sen­sors, Technology Trends notes.
RFID sen­sors… will be installed in fake lit­tle rocks. These ‘rocks,’ which will be the size of golf balls, will be sent from an air­craft and will detect ene­mies by ‘lis­ten­ing’ to them from 20 to 30 meters. These sen­sors should be oper­a­tional within 18 months and they should be cheap enough to leave them on the bat­tle­field after they com­pleted their tasks.
