Also being tested are "powered" rails which can provide power to accessories and transfer data

Older version on a Beretta ARX-160
The main purpose is to have a unified battery source to power accessories so that you don't have to get a bunch of different battery types for each one

I'm skeptical about how it will handle extreme heat/cold

So many Batteries...

they really need to start giving conventional troops those high-cut helmets so we can wear ear-pro/comm systems without the helmet fitting all weird.

Good to see that darpas Next Generation Tactical Wearable Night Vision program yielded results.

>Smaller and lighter sunglass-sized night vision devices that can switch between different viewing bands.

Land warrior concept is logically not going anywhere, it just needs to mature. The idea is sound, the tech was not there. Maybe it is now.

The US first proposed the idea of powered rails in 1964. It took them four small arms projects, six future warrior concepts and ten major operational undertakings, plus five wars, to get it on the ball. It wasn't because they never committed either, they literally could not do it because technology had to mature.

Now if only the US could get the future small arms rolling.

>future systems will be 50 degrees diagonal and 70 degrees diagonal
>for reference the oculus rift is 110 degrees diagonal

this is cool as fuck.

Can't they just buy a bunch of Google Glass and be done with it?

The screen on the Google Glass sucks and isn't "grunt proof"

>>32856547
well, the computer unit is now an iphone, so size and weight are way less of an issue now
batteries seem to be the main issue
