Overview
Land Warrior was a United States Army program, launched in 1989. It officially got its name in 1994, cancelled in 2007 but restarted in 2008. It has used a combination of commercial, off-the-shelf technology (COTS) and current-issue military gear and equipment designed to:
- integrate small arms with high-tech equipment;
- provide communications and command and control at the infantry soldier level;
- look at the individual infantry soldier as a complete unit rather than as a segment of a larger force.
