[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 16199673, member: 53488"] We still use the large radios and lasers because it works and it’s rugged. The military is also painfully slow to adopt new tech for the average infantryman because as was pointed out cost, weight and how easy it will get broken or lost are huge factors. You would think by now we could ditch our huge, heavy radios for smart phones but we can’t just yet. Having encrypted comms is vital and there isn’t a global cell network that is secure. I was running around with a prototype smart phone developed for the military in 2013 in Afghanistan though. I could send messages and upload pictures and info to the secure net when on the FOB. Outside the fob it was a mini blue force tracker with GPS and pre-loaded maps. I imagine 6 years later we have advanced quite a bit. There is a way to access the internet on secure channels in the worst places in the world but that tech is reserved for highly specialized and high speed units like SOF. If we can put what you are taking about on my eye pro then it might work ok. But fully encapsulated helmets like Halo are not good. Hard as **** to breath in. But here is something super ****ing cool for the SOF divers out there [URL="http://soldiersystems.net/2019/02/17/scubapro-sunday-galileo-heads-up-dive-computer/"]SCUBAPRO Sunday- Galileo Heads Up Dive Computer - Soldier Systems Daily[/URL] [/QUOTE]
