The U.S. Army plans to deploy in as early as 18 months new RFID-enabled rocks that are dropped by the thousands over battlefields and “listen” for approaching enemies.
Though they look like small, natural rocks they’re actually embedded with microprocessors and listening electronics that are so sensitive they can hear a person stepping on the ground 30 feet away.
