Land Warrior
Summary
Since the beginning of time, the concept of the infantry soldier hasn’t changed. He has a weapon, armor, and a helmet. While the concept hasn’t changed, it has evolved. “Land warrior” puts state-of-the-art technology right on the soldier’s body. It is a networked computerized system worn by the soldier. Vital battlefield data is continuously transmitted to the soldier. On combat missions, soldiers are linked together. At the flick of a switch, they can talk to each other, share pictures - all see the same things at the same time, no matter where each individual is. The key components of this system are a radio link, a helmet display, GPS navigation, and a computer. The Land Warrior is envisioned to be used on the urban front line.
