As I mentioned on my earlier post about the Army Infantry Brigade Combat team modernization shindig I attended this week the Soldiers I talked to said they’d leave both the Urban and Tactical unattended ground sensors behind should they deploy with any of the techs we saw during the visit.
That’s not to say the Soldiers didn’t like the concept of the leave-behind surveillance modules…it’s just that they didn’t think the systems were ready for prime time.
Nevertheless, here’s a brief from the program manager explaining what the objective is for these militarized versions of trail cams.

I don’t get the point of this.. Somebody help me here… So you leave a bunch of sensors that can possibly tell you there’s something there, then what? You go back to check it out?
I don’t see how this gives an advantage greater than the disadvantage of carrying more expensive stuff around. Maybe it’d be useful for specific missions, but I can’t see any reason for widespread adoption.
Kilroy — once you establish it’s nasty looking types with mostaches and AKs (you know the fellas) and not curious kids you detonate the secret bomb you left behind/call in an air strike/throw in a cruise/call in Arty/go nuclear, or all of the above. At the same time.
Singed mustaches ahoy!
How do you get them to stick to a dirty sandy loose wall?
Sometimes the obvious is missed.

Imagine you are playing Doom, and have many cameras set up around the area. You see a monster walking down the hall, you see the red dot on the map, and you have a chance to strike from behind walking around the corner. The monster will be dead before it has chance to turn around. This is an urban scale solution. It’s not something new and the concept was around the Vietnam War era. I don’t want to go further speaking about this. This UGS should be kept secret and silent. It’s more sensitive than anyone could think.
