GPS useful on cloudy nights, smoke (lots of that) and mild sandstroms. Needs to be installed in the vehicles with antennas so it can be used while buttoned up. Evidently there are kill boxes and safe zones for avoiding friendly fire, and you need to know exactly where you are at almost all times or you become a target. I know some people who get lost going around the block also...I can't understand their world at all.

of bad navigating by the UK troops and they were where they wouldn't be expected to be. In a war situation, you cannot expect everyone to act like they are on a parade ground or something. Seriously (though an opinion from a non military person), I think it is worth consideration for ground units to fully arm themselves against air attack, no matter who is attacking them. That way.. coalition pilots have full encouragement to make all the necessary checks before initiating an attack on ground units. From what I understand, there are several devices used to identify friendly forces.
