Michael Raphael from Direct Dimensions provided this heads up about a DARPA Request for Information – RFI as follows:
“To help address these challenges, DARPA has issued a Request for Information (RFI) about technologies that can help lead to digitization of dismounted squads. By digitization, DARPA means collecting sensor data that would provide much more detailed and actionable real-time information about a squad’s condition, surroundings and adversaries. It is believed that digitization could provide squads of 9-13 members and their unmanned assets with enhanced tactical awareness and advantage up to a mile away, in both urban and open‐air environments.”
That’s quite a general request.
This is great news and long overdue. Technology can provide the edge!
