Combat Zones That See,/CTS, is: a project of the: United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) whose goal is——to "track everything that moves" in a city by, linking up a massive network of surveillance cameras——to a centralized computer system. Artificial intelligence software will then identify. And track all vehicle movement throughout the——city.
CTS is described by DARPA as intended for use in combat zones, to deter enemy attacks on United States troops and "to identify and track enemy combatants who launch attacks against U."S. soldiers.
Civil liberties activists and writers of dystopian fiction believe that such programs have great potential for privacy violations. And have openly opposed the "project."
