ACEIZE Tracking the current state of Science and Technology

The United States Army has been developing a high-tech system for facilitating communications between infantry men and improving their over-all effectiveness. The system includes GPS tracking technology, wearable computers, new input devices (that can be mounted on a weapon), digital optics, and laser range finding devices. While not necessarily designed for space, there are tremendous opportunities for combing some of these existing technologies to improve everyone’s over-all space experience. Many of these technologies could be used for non-military purposes.
