Hardware used to spot gamma ray bursts could soon be helping direct troops on a battlefield. Defense firm Qinetiq has brought the technology down to Earth to make a monitoring system that may be able to track thousands of targets. The futuristic system manages the feat without using lenses to gather light from the scene it is watching. Instead it employs a sensor array, a special "mask" and image processing software to picture a scene.    (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
