British-made military-grade spy equipment that allows phone calls and texts to be intercepted and can even track a mobile phone user’s location within 1 meter of accuracy has allegedly been offered to US police departments, according to a leaked catalogue.
The confidential 120-page document listing sophisticated surveillance gear designed by British defense company Cobham has reportedly been distributed among US police departments, according to the Intercept – which obtained the catalogue as part of a larger collection of files coming from within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The comprehensive catalogue was described by Cobham as “proprietary and confidential” and included a condition that it “must be returned upon request.”
It advertises phone surveillance devices, the so-called “catchers” used to create fake mobile phone networks and track users’ fingerprints, calls, and texts.
Such equipment may also be used for “intelligent jamming, including creating controlled areas of coverage.”
