…the Pentagon’s combating terrorism technology support office (CTTSO) has ordered a number of prototypes of a new Israeli multi-function sensor produced by ODF Optronics of Tel Aviv. This system, termed “Eyeball”, is the size of a tennis ball but contains movement sensors, microphones, speakers and transmitters, enabling it to hear and even communicate with insurgents. As a major from the marine corps’ warfighting laboratory remarked: “The Israelis are way ahead of the others in some very interesting, niche fields.”
