US gets new eyes and ears in the sky

US gets new eyes and ears in the sky

After years of negotiations, Australia has agreed to host a new US military communications base. The facility will relay data, including instant intelligence, graphics and maps, from a new generation of satellites to ground forces in Asia and the Middle East. The base will also link with a mysterious giant global signals eavesdropping web that the US operates - and which has been exploited for commercial espionage. - Alan Boyd (Feb 21, '07)
