Grenade-Style Wireless Camera For Combat

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-gotta-be-kidding-me dept.

nk497 writes "A new wireless camera called the I-Ball is being developed to be shot into locations using a grenade launcher so troops can see what lies ahead. The I-Ball sends real-time, 360-degree video back to soldiers while it's flying through the air and when it lands."

    What's to stop your opponent from figuring out which frequencies this device transmits on and jamming it and/or targeting it with anti-radiation weapons?

    That's easy, just pick on people who don't have our level of technology then whine about asymmetric warfare and call them terrorists when they use IEDs to defend their homes.

    The best addition you could make to a grenade is a feature whereby it blows up killing the person who thought it was OK to throw a grenade at someone.
