Well, if it can tell the difference between a person and a bovine.....

Yeah good point.

It's hard to know how sophisticated the software is that runs it - but
watching a video on their site seems to the software tells the
difference in objects by how they move.

you  guys are  really  kidding  about all this aren't you ,  or
possibly making fun of the several   uwbsarsurv-sats they moved off
from domestic  assignments / testing  ( to the mideast )  ?

those 1st gen  uwb units have been airborne for several years,  now
and even  UAVs fly with  4th - 5th gen units  attached to their
underbellies ! there are probably so many " birds " up now they are
practically bumping into each other. heard they were one of GW's
pet projects aimed towards border control  as well  ( probably built
by some of his business buddies h aha ha ha ) .

hear tell that "all " the important local " special " spots are still 
being " toasted "   24/7 as they supposedly have for several years
now.

supposedly the navy owns the satnet  ( I dunno , go figure ) hardware
but the cammo dudes are taped into some  ( very little ) of it as
well.   at least , the ones over this way  are. 

ground based surveillance radar went out with the covered wagon ......
heck you  even see them  ( the 15km  8087 jobbies ) on ebay from time
to time.
