Pentagon contractor Harris will demonstrate its remote camera guidance app at the National Association of Broadcasters conference in next month. The system, which would link the iPad or Android tablet to a camera mounted on a UAV, allows users to watch a live feed from the tablet and control camera actions through its touch screen display.
"You can steer the camera and look at what you want," said John Delay, director of architectures for emerging business at Harris. "There's a lot of interest in this. If you can use sensors to give the ability to grab control of a camera and look over a hill from the UAV, that is huge."

Their mission is to defend American military networks and civilian American infrastructure from cyber terrorism and from foreign government hackers.
The officers leading these cyber commands explain how they are organized, how they operate, and how they will protect the United States from foreign military hackers, intelligence agencies, and cyber terrorists.
