Combat Zones That See -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
CTS is described by DARPA as intended for use in combat zones, to deter enemy attacks on American troops and to identify and track enemy combatants who launch attacks against American soldiers.
The potential civilian applications of this system were readily apparent to civil liberties activists, who decry the project as ominously (additional info and facts about Orwellian) Orwellian.

 Combat Zones That See - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Combat Zones That See, or CTS, is a project of the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency whose goal is to "track everything that moves" in a city by linking up a massive network of surveillance cameras to a centralized computer system.
Artificial intelligence software will then identify and track all movement throughout the city, effectively placing the entire populace under 24 hour a day surveillance.
The potential civilian applications of this system were readily apparent to civil liberties activists, who decry the project as ominously Orwellian.

 FuturePundit: DARPA To Develop Urban Combat Automated Video Recognition System
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing a system for use in urban combat called "Combat Zones That See" (CTS) to better protect troops fighting in urban combat zones.
The Combat zones That See (CTS) Program explores concepts, develops algorithms, and delivers systems for utilizing large numbers (1000s) of cameras to provide the close-in sensing demanded for military operations in urban terrain.
Civil libertarians who may wish try to stop the growth of the surveillance society by lobbying against government funding of the development of the enabling technologies in projects such as the DARPA CTS are at best fighting a delaying action.

Combat in cities "tends to quickly degenerate into small firefights," Pike explained.
A year after that, CTS is supposed to move on to testing in an urban combat setting, where it will gather information from 100 mobile sensors, like drone spy planes and "video ropes" containing dozens of tiny cameras.
