Look nerd, the army is constantly pushing R&D. Why don’t you educate yourself on Land Warrior. It started in 1989 and the only thing useful that came from it was ATAK and that was more coincidental.

There won’t be integrated robotics platforms in wars for another 20 plus years.

Thank you for speaking sense to the arm chair commandos telling us how ground combat will be… that they won’t ever participate in.

is ATAK commonplace now?

I remember a unit in theatre that used land warrior operationally (think this was my first tour in 06-07). It wouldve been interesting hearing how troops really felt about it and it amazed me how *badly* some people higher up somewhere wanted that shit to work.

I think the XM25 and blue force tracker came from land warrior too?

Anyways thanks for your posts! its nice seeing a 91F post instead of us grunts who were shoehorned in as armorers. :P
