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!
