It looks like a giant white blimp hanging lazily in the air, but what appears to be nothing more than a simple balloon is part of America’s ongoing fight to keep its borders secure. It’s called the Tethered Aerostat Radar System, or TARS.
These heavy duty balloons anchored to the ground provide Border Patrol agents with a military grade security system for protecting the border. They float about 4,500 feet off the ground with two 360-degree cameras, giving agents live video feeds of around 10 to 15 miles in any direction.
