Re: US Army Future Combat System
"And one nuke detonated above the battlefield renders all this lovely tech useless. Ahh EMP how wonderful you are."
AFAIK modern military electronics are all somewhat hardened against EMP effects. I imagine the trasmissions would be jeopardized for some time, thus in theory negating the supposed FCS networkcentric advantages for the units involved but that would be a small consideration compared to the fact that the nuclear threshold was crossed. The adversary would have brought nuclear retaliation upon itself.
