Combat Zones That See

Combat Zones That See, or CTS, is a project of the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) ^[1] 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.^[2] Artificial intelligence software will then identify and track all movement throughout the city.^[3]

CTS is described by DARPA as intended for use in combat zones, to deter enemy attacks on American troops and to identify and track enemy combatants who launch attacks against American soldiers.^[2]

Civil liberties activists believe that such programs have great potential for privacy violations, and have openly opposed the project.^[2][4][5]
