Yes, there is, but none that can reliably do so within 1-2 seconds from a drone going at a few hundred kph. I doubt that there ever will be, either.

The lack of imagination on things like this baffles me. It’s like the folks who dismissed early digital cameras because of the shitty image quality.

You couple the fast drones with slower surveillance ones at higher altitude to identify possible targets. Or pair them with local security cameras, or the victim’s cell phone pings.

Whose to say the gait databases that these things are pulling from can't be fed garbage though

True! It's a bit like thinking people will suddenly start needing more than 64kb RAM or something.
