...das ist doch mal was schönes: e-mails lesen, während man den Gegner
erschiesst...
Na, hoffentlich geht denen dann die Batterie im entscheidenden Moment nicht
aus...

Aber im Ernst: Langsam beginne ich zu überlegen, ob man sich nicht mal die
ganzen Niederlagen technisch hoch überlegener Armeen gegen steinzeitlich
ausgerüstete Krieger anschauen sollte (Vietnam bis Somalia)...

Skeptische Grüße aus München,
Daniel

> By Ben Fenton

> US Army scientists are working on a uniform that would change colour to
> camouflage the soldier wearing it, protect him from bullets and report any
> injuries to nearby medical staff.
> 
> The Scorpion "high-speed combat uniform" would use tiny devices implanted
> in the fabric of the uniform. These would include integral antennae
> allowing the soldier to receive emails and precise information about his
location
> and his enemy's. 
> 
> Minuscule light-emitting particles in the fabric would be able to sense
> the colour and texture of the immediate area and change colour to blend
in.
> Scientists believe that they can make a fabric that would be flexible, but
> very difficult to penetrate.
> 
> Microscopic computers composed of nanotubes and other "nano-devices" would
> allow the uniform to monitor the vital signs of its wearer and report back
> to medics off the battlefield, allowing them to decide which soldiers
> needed to be treated first.
> 
> Scorpion is expected to be in service by about 2010, according to Jerry
> Whitaker, public affairs officer at the US Army Soldier Systems Centre
based
> in Natick, Massachusetts.
