The US army will get something like Google Glass embedded in its helmets that can measure distances, display 3D building diagrams, transmit video from unmanned aircraft, and more.
The battlefields are full of elements that soldiers will now be able to use: enemy positions, the position of their fellow soldiers, city maps or the layout of a house, a video that will show what is behind a hill. But until recently, there was no way to live-stream the data to soldiers. Until today, why the Q-Warrior, are high-tech helmets manufactured by BAE Systems, a company from the United Kingdom. News of the new helmets first came from Wired.
BAE Systems does not confirm this project Q-Warrior, nor does he say he has any contract with the army. But he said enigmatically Mashable it is a matter of time for the soldiers to acquire new glasses.
"It won't be in 10 years from now, but it's not available right now," said Donald Lee, project manager Q-Warrior at the Army's Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, at Mashable.
Lee said nothing about making the new helmet or transmitting data - BAE Systems may already have done so.
Of course, another issue that they should consider very seriously is the case hacking στη ροή των δεδομένων που θα επιτρέψει σε κάκοιους να πάρουν πλάνα από τα drones ή να αλλάξουν τα data seen by the soldiers. How easily someone could jam the transmission with electromagnetic interference, and how the military can make sure the transmission network is secure.
Perhaps, however, these are issues that already exist at the project table Q-Warrior, so there is no set timeline for when it will be ready. According to Lee, the project will most likely be released first with an elite group, such as the special forces team, Navy Seals who took part in business of Osama bin Laden.
