Drones are already widely-used tools for surveillance. They're routinely sent to spy in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and even on the U.S.-Mexico border. Soon enough, their civilian counterparts could fly over your city too. But drone cameras are still somewhat limited. Not the ARGUS-IS, the highest resolution camera ever made, however. With its 1.8 gigapixels mounted on a drone, its spying power it's equal to 100 Predator drones flying over a mid-sized city.

The ARGUS, which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA), has an impressive range. It can cover up to 15 square miles with extreme accuracy. Its resolution allows it to spot objects as small as six inches from 17,500 feet of altitude.

Yes... as long as there's no clouds around.
1.8 gigapixels!! That's a nice camera lens indeed.

The 1.8 Gigapixles is the capacity of the processor to store the information (or send it) that was obtained from the lens or lenses, lens do not have capacity, only the ability of gathering light images.

OK...I stand corrected.... 1.8 Gig capacity..... My current camera has a capacity of 12 Megapixels....
