The SAR stuff is crazy good and and scary- the publicly released stuff from drones sort of hit a ceiling in quality over a decade ago. And it seems to be rarely released at all now.

It was good enough then to track individuals movement and 'replay' where they had been over the last few days to figure out where they came from and associate them with other people/ vehicles/ rf signatures.

I think it's safe to assume that the quality kept quietly improving from orbit since then- it's just too good to publicly release / declassify.

If it's so good - who is using it, and to what effect? Because it sure doesn't seem like it's doing much for the US.
