Canadian military tracks beer keg to test security

A Canadian Press article, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:

A Canadian-led marine security surveillance trial involving existing and experimental technology is being called a success.

The trial involved tracking a metal beer keg from Liverpool, England, to its intended drop off point in Nova Scotia's Chedabucto Bay.

Using satellite, sonar, radar and unmanned aerial surveillance and stealth buoys, researchers were able to track the pretend contraband and eventually seize it, as it was transferred between four vessels.
