WASHINGTON - The US Air Force is developing a new drone aircraft can "see everything" using nine cameras that can send up to 65 different images, military officials said. Maj Gen James Poss, the Air Force's Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, told The Washington Post the new Gorgon Stare craft has been in the works for a year and a half and should be ready to deploy in Afghanistan within 2 months. "Gorgon Stare will be looking at a whole city, so there will be no way for the adversary to know what we're looking at, and we can see everything," Poss was quoted as saying by the Post. The craft's name came from a mythical Greek creature whose unblinking eyes turned to stone those who beheld them. The new remote controlled drones will not carry weapons, Poss said. The units weigh 1,100 pounds and each cost $17.5 million. Current Predator and Reaper drones only have one lens to capture video, the report said. Meanwhile, Poss said despite the leap in technology, it couldn't replace "good, solid human intelligence, because even watching an entire city means nothing unless you can put context to it." The Air Force is exponentially increasing surveillance across Afghanistan. The monthly number of unmanned and manned aircraft surveillance sorties has more than doubled since last January, and quadrupled since the beginning of 2009. Indeed, officials say, they cannot keep pace with the demand. "I have yet to go a week in my job here without having a request for more Air Force surveillance out there," Poss said. But adding "Gorgon Stare" will also generate oceans of more data to process. "Today an analyst sits there and stares at Death TV for hours on end, trying to find the single target or see something move," Gen James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a conference in New Orleans in Nov. "It's just a waste of manpower." The hunger for these high-tech tools was evident at the conference, where officials told several thousand industry and intelligence officials they had to move "at the speed of war." Cartwright pressed for solutions, even partial ones, in a year or less.
