Innovative Equipment Transforms Soldiers into Land Warriors

">"> Innovative Equipment Transforms Into Land WarriorsRecently soldiers, the American military has equipped team leaders in the legendary 4 / 9 Infantry Land Warrior with new devices for use on the battlefield. Gear, in the 15 years development, is a system of devices intended to increase the awareness of a soldier, mobility and combat effectiveness. The trial was such a success that 1000 additional Land Warrior kits were requested. Land Warrior is an integrated combat system for the infantry, which gives troops improved tactical awareness, lethality and survivability. Whole kit includes a weapons system, helmet, computer, digital and voice communications, System navigation and positioning, personal protective clothing and equipment. Soldiers wearing a vest that contains a computer system, battery power for all integrated components and a global positioning system (GPS). jacket also includes a breakthrough for radio communications. 4.5-A book provides a protective helmet an! d is equipped with the active part of the communication system (for transmit and receive information). Helmet is also a head of display (HMD) recounts the 'dominant eye of the soldier, which can be used to view the video, infrared image, and satellite or topographical maps. soldier wears a gun under with interactive controls that is connected to the computer. Despite all his potential benefits, the Land Warrior system has had a tumultuous history. After half a billion dollars has been spent on creating and improving the system in a decade, testing revealed that the material was simply too big for a practical application in the war. With a weight of about 16 pounds, most of the soldiers seemed to believe the train had a lineage rather than an advantage. Funding has been cut for the project last year, but in a certain way the Land Warrior kits finished in the hands of the 4 / 9 on the infantry in Iraq. After using the device, the 4 / 9 makes suggestions for changes that decre! ased the weight of 'equipment up to 10 pounds. With the upgrad! es and p ositive comments from the military, the Land Warrior project now appears to be back in action with the army to seek additional funding in order to test equipment. But with the efficiency of the Land Warrior system still in question, it remains to be seen what the future holds for this army of innovation. while recent tests have breathed new life into Land Warrior, is still officially a cancellation programme of the army in the eyes. "As such, it is uncertain if the program will receive the $ 102 million needed to the field and test the equipment. however, the equipment should find a way to continue developing, it may eventually provide a way to digitize the battlefield for soldiers - by making communication clearer and provide a better visualization of soldiers of their environment. If soldiers are in an unfamiliar The Land Warrior system could help quickly locate the enemy or to connect with other soldiers. course, it is simply that the stipulation Land Warrior system could! do. Currently, the system remains one of the many interesting ideas sitting in military limbo.By: Shad ConnellyArticle Directory: http://www.articledashboard.comnews.inventhelp.com
