The Pentagon has revealed plans for a surveillance aircraft that will fly more than 12 miles above the ground for 10 years without landing. The 450ft-long (137-metre) craft will be developed at a cost of $400m (£260m), with a prototype one-third of that length due to be ready by 2014.

The US military hopes the blimp, floating 12 miles above a surveillance area in near space, will give it a better understanding of events on the ground. It will be equipped with a radar system able to provide unprecedented detail over a wide area from hundreds of miles away. The craft - called Isis - will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells recharged by its own solar panels, and will be filled with helium, which will give the craft its shape.

The ongoing worldwide financial crisis has affected the personal lives of the general public on many levels. Even when making decisions about resolving difficulties in their personal relationships, the average member of the public has had to become more savvy about how they spend their hard-earned cash. During the early weeks and months of the ‘credit crunch’ difficult decisions had to be taken by those whose marriage or relationship was affected by suspicions of infidelity. The result at this time for most was to remain in an unhappy situation because financial restrictions meant that an expensive separation or divorce did not seem viable.

More recently, aggrieved partners have turned Amateur Detective in a bid to gather evidence to resolve their personal circumstances. The result has been a shift from clients instructing Private Detectives to spy on their partners to clients taking matters into their own hands to solve their situation on a budget. Women in particular tend to be willing to turn amateur ‘Pivate-Eye’ prior to looking for spy gadgets to resolve the matter outright.

Spy Equipment UK has recognised the trend and as such continually strives to make the comprehensive range of spy equipment on offer more accessible to everyone. It is often difficult to make a decision on what product to buy. Fear of new technology is commonplace, so Spy Equipment UK has added videos to many products showing their ease of use. Add to this excellent advice over the telephone or by e-mail and then anybody has the chance to turn Private Detective at a fraction of the cost of employing a real one.

Business leaders are reporting an increase in theft from the workplace and of goods in transit. Statistics confirm that there was a marked increase just leading up to ‘The Credit Crunch’ and this has continued to increase throughout the period of economic downturn. As businesses start shedding staff and margins become tighter, the increase in losses due to theft and fraud have added insult to injury. 

Spy equipment UK has noted an increase in enquiries from business leaders who are aiming to reduce their losses to effectively ensure that matters do not spiral out of control. Within the work environment Employers have singled-out covert and hidden camera installations as an effective evidence gathering tool in the fight against theft within the workplace. Logistics companies are focusing on vehicle and asset tracking devices for trailers and expensive merchandise in transit. GSM Cameras that allow remote viewing into the Drivers Cab and Trailers are being chosen as the perfect remote monitoring device protecting Drivers and assets in transit.

Spy Equipment purchases to protect company assets and integrity have not just been limited to spy cameras and tracking equipment. Voice Recorders, Computer Monitoring Equipment and slick GSM Listening Devices have all been snapped up by Employers looking at clawing back the advantage. Other Employers seem at a loss as to what action to take, but whilst they procrastinate, the losses must surely be mounting…
