I'm more afraid this will lead to another push to get profiling legitimized. Not even racially but by where you live within your city.
Imagine handing a cop your license and having them come back to the car asking to search your car because you live in an area with a high drug problem rating. After finding nothing the officer would thank you and if suspicious enough may follow you for a little while 'just in case'.
Granted the ability to stop some crimes before they happen would be of incredible benifit to society as whole. The potential for abuse is there as well though.
Yes, I would guess that this suit is the newest design in the land warrior project.
My reference was to Motorola's participation in the project. It does not look like they are still developing for it. If not I wonder who was awarded that contract now.
Since Land Warriors inception they have changed the contract around the various vendors, at least twice I can think of a munitions company being awarded the oicw contract only to have it removed before they went into production.
Motorola was part of the original land warrior project. They were developing parts of the communications systems. They no longer seem to be a part of it anymore as the references have been removed from their site. Odds are good any work they've done is still military property, it may be possible we'll see some side benifit though as well.
Yes the foam is getting destroyed by the impact but if you look up and to the left a little you can see the grooves it left in the wing. You can't tell they're v shaped so you'll just have to take their word for it.
I found the original company that was working on the OICW program, since they are currently producing a rifle called the XM29 I would guess they won the contract.
This is a lot more like the proposed Land Warrior program from a few years back. The OICW was supposedly almost ready for production back then as well.
This just sounds like they revised the land warrior inititive a few times and this is the current draft run of it. I don't have all the old links for land warrior handy but you can probably find most of them via google. I would count any news of a new military combat armour system as vapourware until they actually produce a working prototype and not just a mock up of one.
As for the OICW several companies were working on their own version back then. I'm suprised that none have been marketed just yet. Perhaps it could be because they are so integrated with the suit pushing for their adoptation is useless until the suit hits production. I'm not sure, I just follow the technology because I'm waiting on them to develop mecha.
I take it no one noticed the.sytes.net address. He was running that from his home connection via a no-ip type of setup. Odd are good the poor guys computer is now drooling on the floor. That will teach him for doing something geeky and not using the appropriate bandwidth.
I think that people are missing some of this. Yes they are removing the ability from Mac OS X to boot into 9.
When a PC user buys an upgrade to their OS they now only have the ability to boot into that OS.
So this isn't anything really new in the computer world. A PC user circumvents this by installing a desired older OS on a seperate partition.
Apple's approach is just one of foward thinking. Why go back? Not really a bad or terrible thing to do. In all honesty Microsoft is guilty of the same thinking.
You could argue that even most linux distro's do the same as you are encouraged to upgrade your kernal after a new release.
More or less friendly my boss knows the guys from studio creations and not only do they advise you act safely while doing this sort of thing they prefer you get the armour made by them. The page is there for the enthusiasts...there's a sub-community that does this sort of replica creation. Their all nuts but generally friendly.

The system was called Land Warrior not Urban Warrior. you can visit the site and see it listed under programs. The link however is bad.
FAS has a brief overview of the old project specs though.

also an overview of the oicw at hkpro along with some nice photos.

Here's one link I still have for the OICW plan.

I'm not sure who won the contract as I recall another munitions manufacturer involved in this as well.
