WASHINGTON (Reuters CAIRO) - Intelligence to use robots to collect data, a sophisticated thing. How about catfish robot controlled remotely to approach the enemy and gather information? It must sound strange.
Even so, in fact in the 1970's the United States intelligence agencies, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), was never designed a similar tool. Robot catfish named Charlie.
In addition to Charlie, a number of other devices that much more bizarre than fiction espionage is disclosed in a new Internet site.
CIA simultaneously launched the site with a page on YouTube and Flickr last week.
CIA says, the site allows its visitors to "find new ways to see what is in the CIA."
On the YouTube page which is located at http://www.youtube.com/user/ciagov, visitors can see a number of "tours" are fun and the history of the intelligence agencies.
But, by far the most intriguing is a collection of photos on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ciagov), who showed a number of weird and wonderful gadgets that used the CIA since World War II.
Among them, there are a number of standard equipment spy cameras in the form of small, bugs, code-breaking machine. But there are also some things that are not even crossed my mind of a conspiracy theorist.
One of the most intelligent decision-mail is a tool, the tool is shaped like a clamp that can be inserted into one side of the envelope without having to open it.
Way, a letter in the envelope can be rolled up after stapled. Once rolled, the letter may be issued and read. After the information in it is obtained, the letter could then be put back into the envelope and delivered as usual.
Besides Charlie, catfish robot equipped with communication devices, there are also robotic dragonfly or insectothopter.
So is it true that Charlie had used to gather intelligence? CIA's secret. Clearly, robotic dragonfly just a tool in theory, given the size of the smallest cameras in those days more than twice as large and weighs at least three times heavier than necessary for the design.
Charlie was developed in 2000. The CIA did not disclose in any mission Charlie never used, but experts suspect Charlie used to collect water samples near the site of chemical or nuclear.
The CIA also form unique bugs. There are bugs that are designed to form a tiger dung, the goal so that no one picked up and examined when dropped on the forests of Asia.
The device works because of course no one wants to touch the tiger dung. The tool detects the movement of troops in the war in Vietnam.
In the CIA's museum is located near its headquarters in Washington, exhibited intelligence tools that are used the CIA in the past, but the spies being used by the agents currently remain confidential.
The CIA had used pigeons to spy using a camera attached to the bird's chest. However, spy missions using the new dove after the CIA secretly developed a camera light.
