That's used for creating holograms, but there's a microwave phase interferometry technique which is used for surveillance and it scatters back information from the target, the object of interest, your surveillance interest, and that can provide a very detailed volumetric view of what you're looking at.
Now, in order to create that kind of system, that requires very high-tech, high-precision engineering.
We're talking about extremely accurate pieces of antenna systems.
We're talking about very complex circuitry, control circuitry, and so on.
and then on the the other side of that is if you're going to use those sort of things for surveillance and you actually want to get involved in the communications two-way communications game well then you have your a whole other um issue of signals interpretation that requires like machine learning or you know artificial intelligence to use that term loosely
in order to get your return signal and so to do that requires you know a high degree of technological advancement the thing is you know this technology was first you know debuted back in the late 70s you know the moscow signal and the thing and all those other things you can go and read about this in the declassified pieces in the national archives
you know that was further you know further back in time than i've been alive and in that time there has been no let up you know the competition global competition has not changed it's not abated and in many senses it's got you know more complicated and the only way to sort of stay abreast or stay afloat rather that's probably the better way isn't it that is to maintain your edge in the technological space and this is
Where you find this technology is at the bleeding edge.
Yeah.
Well, you've used the right expression there, actually, because it's known in the business as jaw-dropping.
And as I hugged to Jesse the other day, it's probably because you couldn't use the term eavesdropping.
It's something slightly different.
But actually...
That's the humorous, the humor in my response is gallows humor, really, because this technology can be used in extremely lethal way.
Yes, there have been times when I've seen something and I've thought to myself, well, gosh.
Yeah, if I'm a betting guy, I can tell you exactly what has happened here.
There's no doubt in my mind how such and such a thing has been accomplished or done.
So yes, that does happen.
It hasn't happened for a little while.
I can say that I watch sometimes debates between very eminent and very, what's the word, smart people in the online world debating things like, I can't remember what it's called now, ghost murmur.
