Wired: Troops in Afghanistan Will See Through Walls in 2010

“Sol­diers can’t leap tall build­ings in a sin­gle bound, yet. See­ing through walls — that’s a dif­fer­ent story. Later this year, Amer­i­can troops fight­ing in Afghanistan will begin to get gad­gets designed to peer inside build­ings and detect the heart­beat of peo­ple buried under rub­ble,” writes David Pierce for Wired’s Dan­ger Room. “It’s not exactly Superman’s x-ray vision. But it’s not that far way from it, either.”

Actu­ally, Army Tech­nol­ogy Live’s Matthew Hick­man wrote about this won­der being demon­strated to Army Sec­re­tary John McHugh at a pub­lic dis­play Jan. 9!
