What technology has been developed? A flying unmanned drone, controled remotely, can carry weapons and sensors. Historically those sensors may have been a camera. Combining more advanced sensors, sophisticated computing, and flying weapons platforms has profound implications.

Human beings are unique creatures. Google’s picture management software Picasa allows for automatic facial recognition of photographs, by using criteria about the distance between eyes and the shape of the face. It is certainly possible to create a signature about a person from a wide variety of sensor data, and some sensor data could certainly be available even through walls.

Combined with the proper software, it could allow continuous tracking of a person through multiple environments, out of doors or in doors. Surveillance from a distance, from the sky, and then the deploying of weapons against the surveilled targets. Lock onto a person and the computer keeps them locked on.

What does it say for civil liberties when your government can continuously track you from a distance in the air wherever you are? And what if that government isn’t the American government, with at least some limitations on its power, but is instead a dictator?

Warfare for a very long time has had staggering new advances that require new tactics to fully utilize on the battlefield. Will American military supremacy continue? Or will countries like China and Russia decide to adopt these new technologies faster?

If Bob Woodward is right, this is an innovation in lethality and power as significant as the Manhattan Project. In fact it is much more targeted than the undiscriminating atomic bomb. It is not just a change in the nature of warfare, it is a change in the potential power of government.
