In Australia the spies get hi-tech boost

Normally, or, better, currently, the security industry is one of those sectors that boom in current times, because of terror prevention activities. For example, Changi Airport in Singapore installed a biometric check-in system recently.

It doesn't always work, so and just last week did we write about a computer upgrade of the computer systems of police cars in Australia - the problem was that those were old equipment from 2000.

Australia is now trying it again. Their spies are to have their intelligence gathering capacity boosted by a new highly classified IT and communications project being run by the Defence Signals Directorate.

The Directorate has revealed details - the upgrade includes database and storage, real time processing and intriguingly, a variety of radio interface technologies.

Let's hope the material is up-to-date, and the agency faster in its procurement.
