       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Field of Invention 
       [0004]    this invention relates generally to tracking and surveillance cameras that make them become active protection essential objects. 
         [0005]    In the commercial only use three sensors: CCD, IR, and Laser to do tracking and surveillance for low moving targets. Here, I make up an array camera network turn from conventional sensors to tracking and surveillance fast moving targets. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    Passive protections are not effective to protect, and waste a lot of energy such tank, armor vehicle. Alternative by using active protection, destroy the harmful object before it creates grave damage. Each type of camera has each own advance: laser is good in detection flying object, tracking, distance measure, and chemical signature. Infra-red is good in detection of hiding object. CCD is good in recognize object. 
         [0007]    By combine all information collect from sensors, if object is positive harmful, then destroy it by guide the shooter like gun, missile. If object like water-pipe can make rocket launcher, even launch the rocket, the infra-red sensor pick it up, laser track it, distance, speed, direction, then fire missile, rocket, or rain of bullets to stop it. If explosive bury underground like roadside bomb, laser scan the surface know that surface that disruptive, the same time infra-red pick up unusual the difference temperatures between object and ground. CCD sensor is looking suspicion behaviors of human, when sniper start aim or to draw a gun, then the bullet hit sniper, because the phase array camera is constant 360 degree monitor detection, and tracking suspicion harmful objects. 
     
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING 
         [0008]      FIG. 1  is three sensors, Laser, Infra-red, CCD, make up one element of phase array camera. 
           [0009]      FIG. 2  is phase array camera consist of many elements to cover 360 degree show sharp like sphere that mount on vehicle. 
           [0010]      FIG. 3  is phase array camera mounts to balloon, the surface of balloon use photo-voltage to convert sunlight to electrical, so phase array camera become Peace Keeper operate 24/7 more effective compare to drone operation. 
           [0011]      FIG. 4  is a portion of phase array camera, only show one type of sensors. 
           [0012]      FIG. 5  is frame sequences of cameras overlap 50% field of view. 
       
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0013]      FIG. 1 , three sensor cameras to make up one element array in phase array camera, label  10  is Laser,  11  is Infra-red,  12  is CCD. Each of them has 30 degree field of view. 
         [0014]      FIG. 2 , Phase array camera in sphere sharp mount on vehicle, label  20  is Phase array camera consist of many element of three sensors in  FIG. 1 , to make up 360 degree field of view, label  21  is vehicle. 
         [0015]      FIG. 3 , Peace Keeper operate 24/7, label  30  is a balloon that the outer surface coating photo-voltage to convert sunlight to electrical charging to battery in label  31 , here is balloon controller, communication, weapons. Label  32  is phase array camera. 
         [0016]      FIG. 4 , each sensor has 30 degree field of view in horizon and vertical, and overlap 50%, shown only one type of sensor, shown portion of phase array that make of six of one type of sensor, has one regional field of view 15×15 has four cameras  1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , each camera has 30 frame/second→(4)*(30)=120 frame/second for one type of sensor. The phase array cameras have 3 difference type sensors, so in one regional field of view 15×15 has (3 type of sensor)*(4 cameras)*(30 frame/second)=360 frame/second, that is how to turn low speed camera to high speed camera. Use phase shift clock 360/12 =30 degrees, has 12 cameras so each one has phase clock difference 30 degree. 
         [0017]      FIG. 5 , show frame sequences of regional field of view 15×15 of four cameras  1 , 2 , 4 , 5  in  FIG. 4 : 
         [0018]    Frame (1): label  50  is the first frame of CCD camera  1 . 
         [0019]    Frame (2): label  51  is the first frame of IR camera  1 . 
         [0020]    Frame (3): label  52  is the first frame of Laser camera  1 . 
         [0021]    Frame (4): label  53  is the first frame of CCD camera  2   
         [0022]    Frame (5): label  54  is the first frame of IR camera  2 . 
         [0023]    Frame (6): label  55  is first frame of Laser camera  2 . 
         [0024]    Frame (7): label  56  is the first frame of CCD camera  4 . 
         [0025]    Frame (8): label  57  is the first frame of IR camera  4 . 
         [0026]    Frame (9): label  58  is first frame of Laser camera  4 . 
         [0027]    Frame (10): label  59  is the first frame of CCD camera  5 . 
         [0028]    Frame (11): label  60  is the first frame of IR camera  5 . 
         [0029]    Frame (12): label  61  is first frame of Laser camera  5 . 
         [0030]    If you watch the Gulf war news, you see the dash of trace bullets. If use the phase camera, we will see the dash gap trace of bullets will reduce by  12 . The algorithms to detect and tracking are well defined in academic and commercials. Here, I only talk about to form cameras in array, and read out the frame sequences, make them become active to protect essential objects as troops, vehicles, building.
