Bullets with GPS navigation will be included in the US police

StarChase GPS Navigation Bullet

GPS-guided bullets will track crime suspects for the American police, even if it sounds like a device description from a James Bond movie.

According to the developers of the new system, called StarChase, the device is primarily designed to secure the chase without putting the lives of all those involved at risk.

In the best traditions of spy fighters, the system starts when you press a button in a police car. After that, the cap moves away, and the bullet takes off to gain a foothold in the car racing ahead.

StarChase is already being tested in four states - Iowa, Florida, Arizona and Colorado, and the manufacturing company is thinking about introducing a new system in the UK. Installation on a police car will cost 5 thousand dollars, while each of the bullets will cost 500 dollars.

"The question of the rights of the individual"

Once the bullet is fixed on the car, the police can interrupt the pursuit, because then the guards can track the location and speed of the suspects in real time.

"This is an important tactic for the police. We already see the effect in such different situations as rescuing little girls from human traffickers and apprehending drunk drivers," says StarChase head Trevor Fishbach.

Leeds University lecturer Dave Allen, who wrote a report on the application of future technologies by British police, considers the futuristic bullet to be an interesting innovation.

"This is an interesting technology, and it has an obvious practical application. I think the prices [for bullets] will soon fall, and we will see how they are used everywhere and in the near future," said Allen Bi-bi-si.

But, the teacher adds, you need to think carefully about whether “technology for the sake of technology” is not used in this case. "There are other ways to track the movement of cars, and here the question of individual rights arises," the specialist said.

Well, a good thing for the police and the FBI and other "freedom" providers.
Grazing behind a wheelbarrow is a nice thing.
In general, the thing is necessary, if only it wouldn’t be shot from the car, but rather from some kind of hand-held weapon such as a sawn-off shotgun (short-gun).

What is this bullet? It can be rather called a beacon or something like that ...

That's it. And then I thought that the Americans were completely crazy and decided to control the bullets via GPS. be careful to write headings.

[alone]

yes, this is a bullet, a beacon, which, as it were, is shot to a car.

[Migari]

That's right, another component for surveillance, not only is the whole world under a hood from pro-listening, so the natural question is: There are other ways to track the movement of cars, and here the question of personal rights arises.

[Viking]

Quote: Migari

and here the question of individual rights arises

The rights of the hijackers, or, in general, criminals who are trying to hide from them at the request of the police? What figs are they right? And for those who are being watched by specials. services are still "bullets" in figs are not needed, they will insert a "beacon" into the car in advance, and it will not be noticeable at all by the way. so do not confuse soft with warm. This is a device for countering criminals.

[waisson]

interesting gadget

It would be even more interesting if something like this can be produced for the military. For example, it is scattered along the road and they themselves can stick to vehicles, identify them and tell their location. In doing so, exchange data with each other.

[clidon]

Cellular communication will need to be provided. Secretive by the way. )

[makarov]

it was smooth on paper, but forgot about the ravines

That's right...
Satellite navigation receivers are a capricious thing. The signal from the spacecraft is very weak. In addition, for "instant" detection, a stable reception is required, at least from 3 satellites. The signal from the emitter installed in orbit can be easily jammed using any high-frequency device. This property is widely used by car thieves. Therefore, if the criminal takes care of the presence of such a device in the car in advance, then these "bullets" are not afraid of him.

[clidon]

But then the chase will continue. )

[DuraLexSedLex.]

Those who watched the video, the people attach it to the USUAL adhesive tape !!! Normal! The person from the video said that out of 5 shots ATTACHED ONLY 1)))

It is attached to a USUAL adhesive tape !!

I immediately thought - what if it rains or minus 30?
and if I'm an attacker then the trunk will definitely shine from oil)))

[laicon]

this is all good, of course, but if the criminals with the hostage (child) - the police abandon the pursuit, they also throw the car and hide with the child. after all, you can’t trace them

[Consul-t]

you must oblige the criminals when transferring to another car, do not forget to take the gadget with you))) if you do not take it, the punishment is automatically doubled))))
Guys, This is a joke ... And then now zamusuuse))))

And categorically forbid to cling to animals and birds.

[clidon]

At least you can not strain the intruder with a race, but follow the car at a distance, knowing that its route is known.

[Stinger]

It is better to turn off the engine on the go, remotely disabling the ignition system.

[starhina01]

what about diesel?

[clidon]

Here they often cannot get into the wheel ...

[Consul-t]

Criminals will know about this gadget and when the police stop chasing, they just transfer to another car and for now, look for the winds in the field ...
The idea is not bad, but execution suggests the idea of ​​laundering grandmas, and not the fight against crime ...

[Petrucho]

And of course, no criminal would spend a couple of bucks on a GPS jammer just in case. That's exactly what the article says - "technology for technology's sake"

[Fregate]

This bullet is not a fool, this bullet is a snitch))))

[Agent 008]

Yeah ... And I thought that the bullet, flying out of the barrel, would itself chase the criminal through all the courtyards and nooks until it hits him ... You just need to build a speaker into it so that it flies, sounds a siren and at the same time loudly shouted: "Stand, Police" ... This will be a bullet, just not a fool ...

[AK-47]

Quote: Agent 008

... made a siren and at the same time shouted loudly: "Stand, Police".

"You have the right ...", and also put on handcuffs, interrogate, escort to the police station.

And if the car is in the dust - none at all.

a bug like a big current bug the idea is good and the bullet r ....

[olegff68]

The device is of course go. But, it would be better if the car - the taser was installed - by a remote, high-frequency discharge, to disable the electrician of the car.
But they have the police equipped with specials. auto and special pribluda for her are developed and delivered, which in itself is correct, but we will put beacons on basins and put them into battle.

yes there was no stray cut down cars remotely but one cant didn’t take

[mithridate]

another cut of taxpayer money

[Sergey Medvedev]

What are they tormented with this bullet? And if they miss the traffic, but in the eye of someone on the sidewalk?

[brr7710]

can someone tell me the principle of operation of these bullets, because on the internet I got a little information about them. And to the end, the principle of action did not understand them.

[clidon]

I don’t know for sure, but almost all cheap beacons have a GPS tracker and a GSM module, which resets the coordinates to the receiver via cellular communication.

well, the GPS receiver got the coordinates, but how will it control the bullet after that, is it reactive or what?

[clidon]

The bullet flies by itself, without any GPS correction))

[starhina01]

in general, you can’t talk about a small cell of current, but you can detect

[HAM]

I remember that the "national security agent" was hanging "bugs" from a slingshot, and then a gun, the Americans fell behind.

[bubla5]

But it’s not easier to call it simply a beacon, all the same it’s probably fired from pneumatics

[Algor73]

Of course, for cops this is the thing! But how will filmmakers now make their films? After all, there are continuous chases, pursuits, with many throws, rams and other accidents?

[vahatak]

When did the filmmakers stop the laws of physics and other reality?

[Bort radist]

I read somewhere, before, for tracking in the stop lights we drilled a hole, here you have a beacon in the dark.

[starhina01]

so etoge when it was. time is now not the same

For this, no sensor will scan

[horoh]

The idea is of course interesting, like the device itself, but in a certain situation it is ineffective (in the case of a change of car, or even not one).

[Rus2012]

... soon the detectors of these bullet beacons will appear :)
Business is - business and nothing personal!

On the other hand, hearing the clap of a shot, or a blow on the body, any more or less competent driver will be on the alert, as if - "what was it?"

[clidon]

During the chase? The shot will not be heard here, and so it’s clear that pneumatics. And the sound insulation in modern cars is good.
Even if he realizes that he was marked, then what should he do. Looking for another car? Easier said than done.

[EdwardTich68]

ordinary lighthouse, trying to give out wishful thinking.

[clidon]

Not ordinary, but fired from a police car.

[shurup]

Now, thanks to these bullets in the ammunition kit, the patrol police themselves during the work time will not only be able to drink beer, but even donuts without the permission of their superiors.
I offer a voluminous ammunition for the police. A spray can is fired at the object being chased. After undermining the ammunition, the suspect is painted in a bright, reflective color and all the glasses, too.

[clidon]

And doesn’t notice this at all? ) And can you follow the movements from around the corner?

[Silkway0026]

zhurnalyugi - all .... always fooling people with headlines. GPS, MPS ... and there is a stupid beacon.

[Known who]

Why did they decide to shoot, ours will immediately accept the Federal Law - to mount them all in cars at the expense of the owners and let the drivers try to break!

[Nitarius]

Doesn't it occur to anyone that this is not casual?
note - the cars were transferred to an electric booster!
Now the car can be shoved not only by a beacon, but also get into the steering control system!
It all comes down to a single control system from outside the car!
it’s easier to remove a person if the steering wheel fails, etc.

[Kovrovsky]

And we will answer with GLONASS!
