This is something they will love over at “24” and its fictitious andnearly omnipotent Counter Terrorist Unit. The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is developing a radar system that cantrack suspects or vehicles around corners and “down into urban canyons”— essentially any where in a city.

Using a few unmanned air drones, DARPA will use the new Multipath Exploitation Radar tocreate 3-D urban maps and something called a Ku-band radar, which will run at high enough frequencies to get detailed images of vehicles. The drones bounce radars off the ground and buildings and match thepatterns to 3-D maps, creating a full, vivid picture of a city inmotion.

DARPA will first try to create the ability to track a single vehicle before expanding the system to follow multiple targets.

This makes Jack Bauer’s job easier, the “24” writers’ harder and privacy advocates more perplexing and complicated than ever.
