pretty sweet idea... will be useful.. though it probably takes a lot of rounds to get a good idea of what's ahead, = mucho cash
even then pictures will probably go past so quickly that it'll take a fair bit of time/analysis to work out what exactly things are, and by that time
you might as well send a recon squad =(

This is a pretty cool idea. The idea is to fire small rounds with cameras in them over hills to take photos to see what is on the other side. It
seems like a good idea and it may be cost effective. Here is the article about them.

"Soldiers in battle are always trying to discern what's in front of them. Both victory and survival can depend on it. Yet too often, buildings, hills, forests and jungles get in the way.
Now a Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) project is developing a novel way for small ground units to see past obstacles. Called the "reconnaissance round," it would let soldiers use small artillery weapons almost like a periscope. They could fire skyward a device that transmits images of nearby terrain back to a laptop computer, which is standard equipment now among infantry units."
So what do you guys think?
