A grenade camera, that would enable soldiers to look into hazardous areas, is being developed for UK troops. Dubbed the I-Ball the wireless device is robust enough to survive being thrown onto a battlefield. The I-Ball's internal camera gives a 360 degree view, with images being sent from the instant it is launched. It is thought the new technology would enable soldiers to see into potential danger spots without putting themselves at risk of ambush.The ball can be fired from a grenade launcher.
