UK Troops Get New Enemy Spotting System
Posted on Feb 22, 08 07:08 AM PDT
Looks like UK armed forces will have a vast advantage over others in the battlefield from next year onwards thanks to its new "Surveillance System and Range Finder". This system is able to spot and locate enemy positions up to 3 miles away, where they can then call in the artillery using precisely-derived GPS coordinates. This is an all-weather, day-and-night handheld device which will bring a definite change in the battlefield. I myself would hope that nobody will ever use this, since that would equal to a war somewhere in the world. The UK Ministry of Defense has already asked for 700 of these which will cost a whopping $60 million.
