I had no idea Anduril’s bordering technology had reached the shores of the UK…. the founder of Anduril, Palmer Luckey, is the founder of Oculus VR (now part of Meta). In my PhD I discussed the framing of VR technology as “empathy machine” vis-a-vis uses of VR for border violence/“killing machine”.
➡️ #Anduril's Maritime Sentry Towers (ASTs) include thermal and electro-optical imaging sensors, and radar designed to detect ‘small boats’ and other water-borne objects within a nine mile radius.
