US ARMY BUILDING NEW DRONES THAT 'TRACK YOUR FACE' AND EVEN DETECT "ADVERSARIAL INTENT'

The Army just handed out a half dozen contracts to firms to find faces from drones flying above cities, track targets, and even spot “adversarial intent.”Progeny Systems has started work on their drone-mounted, “Long Range, Non-cooperative, Biometric Tagging, Tracking and Location”System. Progeny needs an image with just 50 pixels between the target’s eyes to build a 3D model of his face. That’s about the same as what it takes to traditionally capture a 2D image. (Naturally, the model gets better and better the more pictures are taken during enrollment.) Once the target is “enrolled” in Progeny’s system, it might only take 15 or 20 pixels to identify him again. Using a series of so-called “soft biometrics” — everything from age to gender to “ethnicity” to “skin color” to height and weight — the system can keep track of targets “at ranges that are impossible to do with facial recognition,” This technology can even tell identical twins apart. Big Brother isn’t content to simply watch the enemies it knows it has, however. They also want to identify potentially hostile behavior and intent, in order to uncover government subversives and the identity of subjects but also their associations in social groups.” It would apply “a human behavior modeling and simulation engine” that would spit out “intent-based threat assessments of individuals and groups.” In other words: This software can  find out which people or groups are most likely to harbor ill will toward the government or the corporations involved with government.
