This sounds like a solution in search of a problem, just with the budget and resources of an entire government. It sounds like someone made a contract for some new surveillance devices and are now looking for ways to deploy them.
Yet the government also says it isn’t certain what kinds of applications might be possible once the system is built, and hasn’t decided where all the sensors will be located
So they're building something and then they're going to find a use for it.
