US Army Future Combat System

[RecruitMonty]

And one nuke detonated above the battlefield renders all this lovely tech useless. Ahh EMP how wonderful you are. Now if only someone could find a more efficient delivery system.

If going modular is supposed to cut costs then why up those costs by putting all this extra equipment in the vehicles afterwards? Doesn't that defeat the object somewhat? Do they really need to be able to text each other?

I assume those last set of features (white boards etc are for a command module) otherwise that is just ridiculous. Don't the army use paper, radios and maps anymore?

Honestly, too much tech can be a weakness too.
