Nett Warrior versus Android?
Nett Warrior
Nett Warrior, if it ever materialized, is the Army's longstanding attempt to build an ensemble of wearable electronics. The idea is to connect soldiers on the battlefield with a variety of gadgets – mobile computers, maps and radios – so that they can communicate and navigate on the go.
After twenty years of working on the outfit (and predecessors like Land Warrior, pictured above) the Army recently put the program on hold. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that smartphones can do everything the eight pound Nett Warrior could. Provided there are cell towers nearby, of course.
