A system is only as effective as its user. You are going to need smarter well trained grunts to use these high tech gizmo, which translates to more spending for the military. Its cheaper and more efficient (but unethical) to throw a bunch of basic training teenage marine grunts at the enemy and back it up with bombs and planes, humans are cheaper, tech isnt.
I see this LW system good for elite forces and high profile missions only, where the task outweighs the cost.
couldnt they just issue radios to everyone(lighter cheaper) like the british do and avoid all this bullshit? only reason most soldiers dont know where friendlies are is because they're out of shouting range.
they are considering using smartphones with accesories like the mics and displays and ect to do all of this. lol. took them long enough! my gs 2 is way more powerful than any of those systems. they are just working on figuring out the signal issues- converting an android or iphone to work on low level freqs.
I saw a documentary for the land warrior system a while back. The screen looks like a pair of sunglasses built into the top of the helmet. He slides it down when he wants to use it but this land warrior is nothing like that.
This is some Ghost Recon: Future Soldier kinda shit. However, for me it just means more shit to carry. BTW, there's nothing "light" about the Light Infantry. Hooah!
@Blueracer66 its about 10 pounds now i put a 10 pound weight in a backpack and ran for about 15 minuets i was tired man but in not fit like a soldier eather
Its just too much crap going on , fighting has to be rapid, movement has be easy flowing this kits are over the top I agree wit good communication kits but the whole situational awereness component is information overload.
The enemy these days relies on ambush tactics an rapid fire an retreat methods which means before you even know what’s happened you been hit.
so glad my unit said fuck this shit and did not take it to wardak

pair Land Warrior with the HULC system and you get a nearly invincible armed force...

millions of dollars of military spending creates a smart phone that I could buy at a verizon store.
