We have a Gadget for that:
SPARCS Mortar Rounds Blast 360-degree
Surveillance into the Sky
From: http://www.slashgear.com
Fired from 40-millimeter-capable firearm, these beasts are capable of being shot into the air where they deploy
a camera with a parachute. This camera then captures images
as it falls gracefully toward the ground.
The device is made by ST Kinetics and is called SPARCS, also known as Soldier Parachute Aerial Reconnaissance Camera System. The camera sends out video feeds as well, encoded (but not encrypted) using the phase alternating line scheme.
In the following (low res, unfortunately)
video, you’ll find a demonstration (in basic form) of the
40mm payload being shot.

The Throwable Version shown Last Week
The last product I saw at CES 2014 was one of the coolest.
Pictured above is Jonas Pfeil, president and co-founder of Panono. Panono is a ball that has 36 three-megapixel cameras built into it. The one Pfeil is holding in the picture is a working prototype version, and it’s about the size of a volleyball.
The final shipping unit — Panono successfully raised $1.25 million on Indiegogo and will start shipping units in September — is more like the size of a softball.
To operate Panono, you simply throw it in the air. The ball has a sensor inside that recognizes when it has reached the apex of its airborne journey. At this point, it automatically fires all the shutters at once, capturing a 108-megapixel, 360-degree panoramic photograph.

After the ball takes its mega-photo, it sends the images to Panono’s image-stitching cloud service wirelessly. From there, the shot is converted into a navigable animated image. You can view it in a browser or the Panono app.
