Just a pity that when you bomb the heck out of some 3rd world country the power goes out if the locals have not stolen the cables for scrap already ;) Saw this at Unmanned 2008 as a mock up looks very interesting. They also have a little portable unit you can toss over the cables to steal power...now that is really interesting...
