Amazing Technology

In its battle against Palestinian terrorists Israel yesterday reported plans for a moat on the Gaza border. Along with this ancient defensive measure, Israel will also be deploying amazing high tech measures: Israeli Army Wants 'Remote Control' Border.
An Israeli army think tank has been working on a new border design for months, the military officials said. The planners envision a "remote control" border that will cut down on the number of troops being deployed in the area. High-tech equipment for border control is already being tested, they added.

A computerized observation system will allow the army to identify "hostile elements" and fire deep into Gaza, Yediot said. The system will even choose the most appropriate weapon to use to hit a specific target.

In addition, the army is testing unmanned patrol cars that can identify and defuse explosives by remote control. Planners have prepared alternatives in case the technology is not useable in time, military officials said.
