Yes all these satellites and drones are available but do you think the government waste their time on IEDS and regular grunts? It's most used for special ops and such where bigger issues may lay. Yeah it's sad to say that the ones that always die are the basic infantrymen but that's because in reality there are bigger things to worry about. And as far as these machines for detecting disturbed ground and all that, do you really think we use those? And if we did the people that know how to use them are the civilians that make them, and do you think they want to deploy to a combat country? And if yes then they would have to send someone to every patrol base all over the country. The best resource we have a infantry marines or soldiers is the raven which is a thermal scanning plan that you can hear flying above you and most impotently you EYES. There's almost no way around iEDS because as we adapt so do they I think everyone is getting into this fantasy world were thongs are just like the movies.

My older son is leaving for the 'stan same time as yours. The IED's are what scare me the most. Tell your son thank you for his service and be safe. Both of my sons are Marines.

You know those satellites can do really neat things. I realize you may already know this since you developed these capabilities, but someone on a message board seems to think you have forgotten. Anyway, it should be really easy. Afghanistan is not that big and there should be a few hundred thousand analysts bored out of their minds who could stare at radar imagery all day.

IN FACT NASA WAS ABLE TO TELL HIM HE WAS GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION ALSO. HE TURNED AROUND AND TRAVELED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRCTION AND SUCCESSFULLY LOCATED THE HIDDEN LOST CITY MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE; AND VERIFIED IT AFTER DIGGING DOWN THROUGH 2 OTHER LATER CITIES BULT OVER IT ON THE SHIFTING SANDS AND FOUND THE SPECIAL PURPLE POTTERY OF THAT ERA ONLY USED IN THAT CITY.

I HAVE READ PROOF OF THIS IN AN INTERESTING DOCUMENTED STORY I READ OF A SUCCESSFUL HUNT FOR AN ANCIENT CITY IN THE SAHARRA DESRET I BELIEVE. UNABLE TO LOCATE THE A LOST ANCIENT CITY MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE- THE RESEARCHER TURNED TO ONE OF HIS CLOSE FRIENDS FOR ASSISTANCE; WHO WAS A HIGHER-UP OFFICIAL OF NASA. HE REQUESTED HIS HELP IN USING- LOOK DOWN RADAR--- OFF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.- WHICH THEY DID; AND FOUND NOT ONLY THE CITY'S LOCATION BUT ALSO THE LOAST ANCIENT ROADS LEADING TO AND AWAY FROM IT DEEP UNDER THE SAND .

We do watch there just to many place to watch there and ROE do change as are enemy changes the answer to that is you can’t to many moveing parts they farm and there homes are made of dirt and they get it right from beside the road there lazy.

There might even be good information from those studying volcanos, doesn't some of that give off heat? I know there are laser heat sensors. Why isn't that technology being researched and applied here? In LE if no one reviews video or watches what a camera shows, e.g., in Vegas, the information is useless. Work smarter, not harder-- Sorry, don't know what a M113 APCS is...

Consider not donating to causes that claim to be for agricultural advancement. Back in the mid 80's we supplied the Iraqi Scientific community with Class 3 pathogens for "research" purposes. I was on the receiving end of that program in 90. I am still disabled from it. The free world supports the saying, "there's a sucker born every minute" Stop the UN organizations from providing fertilizer for “humanitarian purposes”.

U2's are the way to go, then call in a Predator with a Hellfire missile.

Using the U-2 is also another option but the manpower to keep those aircraft flying can be expensive. The satellites are already on station why not use them?
