In early 2004 eight tiny sensors were dropped from a plane near a military base in California. After hit ting the ground, the sensors—also known as smart dust sensors organized themselves into a network and quickly detected a fleet of military vehicles on the ground. They determined the direction, speed and size of a series of military vehicles traveling along the road and later transmitted the data to a computer at a nearby base camp.
Smart dust sensors are minicomputers—as small as a grain of rice in some cases—that can monitor and evaluate their physical environment and can relay the information via wireless, communication. They can monitor elements such as temperature, moisture, humidity, pressure, energy use, vibration, light, motion, radiation, gas, and chemicals. These devices will soon have many applications, such as use in emergency rescue.
Software has been developed to run these minicomputers. A key feature of the software is the abili
A. emergency rescue
B. monitoring pollution
C. military operations
D. evaluating the environment
