Absolutely. Wide area surveillance (powered with AI) has been around for more than a decade. It should be developed for our own drones. The product is called “Gorgon Stare”
paired with small runways and drones to follow up on leads from what is identified from the wide area surveillance drone feed, can go a long way in preventing attacks, and linking shooters with their bosses.
here is a practical example; including watching the bosses in the shadows paying for a murder. Btw, the resolution on gorgon state is reportedly much higher than this, and that was ten years ago. With the military’s need to not only do force protection but protect everyone that could be targeted in Baluchistan specifically and the need to protect CPEC projects, it makes sense to work with Chinese industry to work on a modern pod that can fit on the WingLong II drones and fly circles over key areas. Processing the data and sending it on to the forces to launch smaller drones to further investigate will not only help the forces do their job safely but give China valuable training experience, for use in war zones or standoffs with the likes of India, creating a better platform for the sensor —> decision-maker —> shooter process.
these should be paired with SIGINT drones like the one from a Turkey, and for MRAPs closing in on suspected should use IMSI catcher to find the suspects phone and build evidence for a legal case as needed.
