Camera that Sees through Smoke and Fog Underway

tomschuring writes "The Age has a story about IATIA, who have been given $2.7 million by the Defence Department to fund development of a military spy camera capable of seeing through fog, smoke and dust storms. The technology uses a highly sophisticated camera that captures three images simultaneously through a single lens. Images thus resolved from between the particles making up fog, smoke, and dust storms are formed into a single picture of the hidden target."

It won't work but I bet it will cost a ton of money. LOL. I bet some CIA analyst will use it from a spy satelite to look in on a nudist beach.

All kidding aside, this is kinda sad. This kind of research could be much more useful for space exploration than for finding ways to kill more people. This professor seems bright, why not find something new instead of working for the military??
