Wireless Sensor Networks: The Missing Link in Modern Intelligence
Mature Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), or "motes," are the missing link in modern intelligence and ISR operations. This article argues the intelligence community's failure to adopt this mature technology is a critical strategic lapse , creating a "static-data trap". Discover why the problem isn't the technology but institutional lag , and explore a framework for integrating WSNs with COTS GEOINT platforms to finally achieve continuous, real-time situational awareness.
