A segment from the PBS "NOVA" episode entitled "Rise of the Drones" (2013-01-23): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGxNyaXt1sA http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/rise-of-the-drones.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARGUS-IS htros://en.wikinedia.orWwiki/Goraon Stare https://en.wikipcdia.org/wiki/Constant Hawk (2006 deployment) The video is only five minutes long and worth watching to see the "basic capabilities" that BAE was authorized to show. It uses 360+ photo sensors like those used in cell phones to cover 15 square miles (-40 sq. km.) with a 1.8 gigapixel video, with a 6" (15cm) object resolution. Of course if flown higher than 17500' (5300m) it could cover more arca, while losing resolution—until the 5 MP sensors and optics are improved. EFTA_R1_00357893 EFTA01917464 As a frame of reference, the cities of Chicago, Toronto, Birmingham, Mumbai, Antwerp, are all around 600 sq. km. in area, and so it would take "only" about fifteen ARGUS-IS units to cover each completely. Fewer of the units described in the "Ars" would be needed (though they do fly lower).
