Brazil Will Use Drones and US
Robots During The World Cup
In order to ensure the safety of the many people who will visit Brazil and see the matches, Israeli drones will be utilized. These unmanned aircraft will monitor the crowds for defense and security purposes. So called PackBot 510 robots, which are used in the US military, will also be utilized to protect the citizens and tourists. They can be remotely operated and detect and examine suspicious objects or explore dangerous environments.
According to the manufacturer iRobot, the robots perform “ multiple missions for troops and public safety professionals, enhancing situational awareness, reducing risk and increasing mission success “. Aside from the drones and US robots, facial recognition camera glasses, helicopters with night vision and thermal cameras, high tech-surveillance equipment and soldiers from the Brazilian Armed Forces are used to ensure security and protection in the host cities.
2014 World Cup Is The Most
Expensive World Cup Ever
No, no expenses are being saved for this World Cup, Brazil wants to organize a never to forget, legendary World Cup.
Why you ask?
Because the costs so far are 14-16 billion US Dollars! See here the total costs of the last 5 World Cups:
1994 USA:US$ 30 million
1998 France: US$ 340 million
2002 Japan/South Korea: US$ 5 billion
2006 Germany: US$ 6 billion
2010 South Africa: US$ 4 billion
It is interesting to see that the last World Cup in South Africa was less expensive than the 2002 and 2006 World Cups. But what is really interesting to see, is that the 2014 World Cup is way more expensive than the 2 previous World Cups together, heck, almost just as expensive as the last three World Cups together! The costs include stadiums, transport and security. When reading the news, it is obvious Brazil is investing highly in the infrastructure and decreasing the criminality rate. As many probably know, the high costs made many Brazilians furious and was one of the main topics Brazilians were protesting immensely about in June 2013.
