What is Aircraft Surveillance Used for Today? Big Brother is Alive and Well in the United States as the Government Tracks Our Every Move in Order to Control Us.

One can only wonder why aircraft surveillance is still relevant in the world today.

If anyone goes online with a fairly powerful PC and access to broadband, he or she can sign up with the advanced edition of Google Earth and go anywhere and see anything.

Google makes use of satellite surveillance systems that belong to the government, and the military certainly has an even more powerful program.

The satellites we know about may not look at every square inch of earth in the world.

If a war was going on in Peru or Pakistan, though, it would be a simple matter to program the satellite to hone in on the details.

Consider this: by using Google Earth you can zoom in on your own house and see your dog lying in the yard and the tree moving in the wind all in real time.

Surely this kind of specific detail is sufficient for most military and other surveillance purposes.

All the same, there are reports of airplanes circling for hours in one area with no apparent explanation.

And yet while relying on information on satellites, aircraft surveillance is alive and well in the U.S. In fact it is alive and well all over the world.

It is yet one more way for the elite backers of our puppet governments to track us in order to implement more control. Big Brother is alive and well and this is but one way they watch us.

U-2 Spy Planes

Aircraft surveillance is also used in civilian life for reconnaissance mapping (such as for making trips into mountainous areas), traffic monitoring, science, and geological surveys.

It makes sense that people doing scientific studies would want their own surveillance aircraft.

Military aircraft carry specialized instrumentation for surveillance and they can also listen in on what is happening on the ground.

Non-military aircraft are used for border surveillance, fishery patrols and to control smuggling and illegal immigration.

Surveillance aircraft that we know about do not automatically have high-performance capability or stealth characteristics.

It is a spooky fact that lots of military spy planes are modified civilian aircraft disguised to look harmless, but it makes a lot of sense.

Perhaps we are just supposed to get used to being watched, making humans into caged animals rather than free men.

Earliest Surveillance Aircraft

As soon as mankind managed to get off the ground he started spying from the air.

The first surveillance craft was a balloon operated in France. It was first used to reconnoiter in 1794 when France was at war with Austria.

The appearance of the balloon so demoralized the Austrian troops that the French won the war.

The first winged aircraft used for reconnaissance were used during the Balkan Wars early in the 20th century.

During World War I, the world got its first stealth aircraft.

The Rumpler Taube had translucent wings, which made it hard for ground-based observers to detect the plane if it was more than half a mile above the earth. It was referred to the as the ‘Invisible Aircraft.’

Air Surveillance in the 21st Century

The latest trend in aircraft surveillance is the use of remote-controlled reconnaissance airplanes and light helicopters.

Even today, many air forces do not have dedicated surveillance planes but can mount and use reconnaissance cameras in combat and transport aircraft.

Another kind of surveillance aircraft is the electronic surveillance aircraft.

Different planes have been used for this purpose and now several countries have adapted aircraft for electronic intelligence (ELINT) gathering.

The very latest trend in aircraft surveillance was brought about by the development of lightweight sensors and communications gear.

Now any fighter plane and ground attack plane can also be used to perform surveillance.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter multi-role fighter plane is now being developed with this in mind.

Aircraft Surveillance by Homeland Security

Homeland security is now the most powerful part of the government. Thanks to the Patriot Act, they can strip you of all rights on the spot, without trial or an official arrest.

In terms of changes to regulations in 2005 regarding the Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection Bureau, Border Patrol sector chiefs along the land borders with Mexico and Canada now have tactical control of aircraft in their sectors.

This means Big Brother is watching you from the air.

This has effectively supplied the law enforcement sector in the United States with its own air force, the largest such air force in the world.

The Department of Homeland Security now has under its wing more than 250 aircraft and 500 pilots.

If you still think you live in the land of the free, think again.
