US Military Develops P2P Wireless Network Sniffer

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the high-tech-warfare dept.

Merlin83 writes "As being reported on The Register, the US Military is developing a new system for monitoring enemy battlefield communication. Called WolfPack, each node is a 6"x4" cylinder, launched by missile or dropped from aircraft. Once the node lands, it stands up, extends its antenna and contacts other nodes. The nodes can also jam cellular communications by transmitting a signal themselves. "

    The term Wolfpack will forever be associated with the Nazi German Kriegsmarine.
