Topic:
The United States military spends billions of dollars developing aircraft, ships and weapons systems, but its most valuable resource is its soldiers.
Through rapid advances in new and developing technologies like autonomous battle suits, ultra far-forward medical care, wearable computers and miniaturization, the U.S. Army is looking to increase the protection and survivability of the men and women in uniform. Best of all, there is lots of government money looking for solutions.
