I wonder how much they peed away on phase one..
That system was probably a remote aimed semi-stationary device, but required multi-men hi-logistics to deploy, and was therefore very un-sniperish and vulnerable.
Phase two, would utilize only one maybe two disposable men to deploy a transmitting weather station. With it, snipers could recieve ballistic factors integrated into their target bearing.
This is the very reason I've suggested to IBS members that they need to resist allowing ANY electronic assitance(easily disguised as 'wind flags' or 'scoring' systems) during matches.
I believe this sytem could be achieved within OUR means, very soon.
