## Resource

What happens when AI-enhanced commercial satellites, smart city sensors, retail cameras, and mobile apps converge into a single open-source intelligence stack? You get a new kind of ISR; emerging not from secret state programs, but from the fabric of daily urban life. This post examines how edge computing, multimodal remote sensing, SLAM tools, and satellite IoT are transforming situational awareness, raising new strategic dilemmas about control, ethics, and the erosion of secrecy. https://www.thesecuritynexus.net
