U.S. special forces are taking a more 'intimate' approach to remotely identifying targets, using lasers to sense their heartbeat.
According to MIT Technology Review, the Pentagon has developed a prototype of the technology, code-named 'Jetson,' that uses infrared lasers to read a person's cardiac signature.
Though far less obvious than fingerprints or faces, people's heartbeats have a distinct profile, making them among the most useful biometrics for uniquely identifying a person.
Using a laser U.S. special operations will be able to identify subjects based on a unique heartbeat.
Like fingerprints, faces, and even the way you walk, heartbeats have a unique signature.
Using senors, those cardiac profiles can be leveraged in biometric security, and now: surveillance.
By using infrared lasers, the Pentagon has developed a laser that can read someone's heartbeat from 200 meters.
The technology could help identify insurgents in an active war zone and is more accurate than facial recognition.
To make the method
