IDF Augmented Reality Map Finds Hidden Terrorists

(Forbes) Zak Doffman - Israeli Intelligence has developed an augmented reality mapping application designed to find hidden terrorists. Welcome to the battlefield of the future. "Our enemies have adopted a technique to merge into urban areas populated with civilians," said Lt.-Col. N. "We need to unveil the enemy, precisely, and stop the threat....We need to get the right house on the right street." The augmented reality overlay comes from a fusion of multiple, highly classified intelligence sources. There's also artificial intelligence running pattern analytics on prior enemy tactics, techniques and procedures to infer what a hidden enemy is likely to do next, in real time. Arrows and graphics explain to a soldier on the ground why the third-floor apartment with the wrought iron balcony is deemed a hostile environment, why anyone exiting the building can be considered a combatant.
