Fabric that can record. As we know, optical fibers can be used to transmit data as light pulses, thus making high-speed Internet surfing as we know it today possible. They can also have some more sophisticated properties, such as the possibility to detect, transmit and play sounds. A team of
Spy plane stays four days in the air, with no pollution
Every single day we happen to read (and to write) about some new spy plane, and with so many of them around, our skies (especially above areas where peace is at risk or absent, such as Middle East, Iraq or Afghanistan) are crowded with drones keeping a watchful eye over
An unmanned combat aircraft, completely invisible to radars
Unmanned combat aircraft? The British Ministry of Defence has just introduced Taranis, the first prototype of pilotless combat aircraft (or UCAS, Unmanned Combat Aircraft System) capable of flying in stealth mode, without being detected by enemy radars along its way, and of striking at very long range, even thousands of
Invisible earpieces, for a continuous and discreet contact
Invisible Earpieces? If telephone wiretapping is becoming a more difficult tool to use, at least in Italy, law enforcement can certainly not stop their investigation work, and in order to fight crime, in some cases they must resort to a more cumbersome and dangerous method, that is, for example, trying
Telephone interception: no newspapers today, against the gag bill
Telephone Interception? As operators in the security and surveillance field, we have more than once expressed our point of view regarding the bill that the Berlusconi government is trying to pass, and that would pose severe limitations not only to the possibility of using wiretapping telephone interception during the course
A fingerprint lock, and your office is secure
Fingerprint lock? Those who store sensitive data or highly confidential documentation in their office know well that, no matter how cautions you can be, during their absence this information is at risk, either because of curiosity or a simple carelessness, and might leak out. Therefore, one should be equipped with
Long-wave infrared cameras to drive safely at night
Infrared Cameras? Some luxury cars already sport cameras which use near-infrared (NIR) light to see more clearly obstacles or dangers on the road at night. Using these radiations, though, requires the car to be fitted with infrared headlights. In alternative, one can use thermal image cameras, which on the other
Eavesdropping devices, it’s not the end yet
Eavesdropping Devices? Those who follow Italian political life will certainly be aware of the controversy that the bill on telephone eavesdropping is arising not only between the ruling coalition and its opposition, but also within the Italian governmental majority. Not only the centre-left opposition, but a large chunk of the
A spy airship as big as a football field
Technology keeps thrusting forward, especially in the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) field, where new pilotless aircraft, always smaller and more powerful, are being created every second day. Sometimes though, time seems to leap backwards, and in this specific field it seems to give an unexpected nod to good old airships,
Thermal cameras, for clear images even in the dark of night
When you are out on the open sea, surrounded by total darkness, it is very difficult to notice and be aware of an impending danger, especially if this danger is represented by other boats approaching your with lights off and with not exactly friendly intentions. For boats that are not
