NETT Warrior, PEO Soldier Acquisition Updates At North America's Soldier Systems And ...

Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- With advanced navigation, SA, and information sharing capabilities, leaders are able to avoid fratricide and are more effective and more lethal in the execution of their combat missions.

Incorporating enhanced navigation, better situational awareness and sharing of data, the risk of fratricide is reduced and more lethal and successful missions are possible.

Nett Warrior is focussed on situational awareness and not only shows a leader's location on a digital map image but other soldiers and leaders are referenced on a digital display. Secure networks are used and enables one Nett Warrior to exchange information connecting the dismounted soldier to the network.

Nett Warrior uses a system-of-systems approach and integrates capabilities while lightening the Soldier’s combat load.

Col Wil Riggins, Project Manager, Soldier Warrior, PEO Soldier, US Army will update on developments including re-investment in Nett Warrior and other major procurement activity at Soldier Technology 2012.
