Intel goes to war - LITERALLY !!! "Among the familiar technologies being incorporated into some of these combat systems are Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows CE, the StrongARM processor, Oracle Lite, the Intel Pentium III processor (700MHz), a 1.8 GHz flash disk [huh ??] and commercial wireless LAN technology. " Paul {===========================} pcmag.com March 15, 2002 Special Report: Meet the High-Tech Warriors By Lance Ulanoff Combat fatigues and high-tech battle gear are not the typical dress code at PC Magazine's offices. But this day was different. The U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick), from Natick, Massachusetts, made a special visit to our offices to show off the near and distant future of military combat wear. It's a subject we covered in detail in our recent 20th Anniversary of PC Magazine special, but this was the first time that many of us had a chance to see this gear up close. Why, you may ask, would PC Magazine care about high-tech combat gear? All you have to do is open up the hood of any of this equipment (current and planned) to find out. According to the lead engineer for the Land Warrior project, Scott H. Senter, the army is focusing on using essentially off-the-shelf products to build the future of combat. One reason, explains, Senter, is cost. "That's why the military is looking at commercially designed and used products, so we can use and mass produce these technologies like you would a laptop." So much for the days of the $600 toilet seat. Among the familiar technologies being incorporated into some of these combat systems are Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows CE, the StrongARM processor, Oracle Lite, the Intel Pentium III processor (700MHz), a 1.8 GHz flash disk and commercial wireless LAN technology. The army is also testing USB 2.0 and using the cutting-edge OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays. Senter added that Natick is using Microsoft development tools to build the applications that run on these OSes and hardware. bellre: i am impressed. not just with the article, but also with the fact that you could get them to come to the office and show them off. keep up the great work. view full post To get a closer look at the Land Warrior, Objective Force Warrior, and Future Warrior and their equipment, check out our slide show.
