Abstract
The SUO SAS system, sponsored by DARPA, developed critical technology components essential to a new way of fighting by dismounted forces. Technology breakthroughs in extremely agile radio systems, advanced large scale ad hoc networking, position location without GPS and distributed collaborative situation awareness have revealed the future potential of putting the power of computing and communications in the hands of every soldier. As many of these technologies transition to the US Army, they ultimately advance individual warrior understanding, lethality and reliability.
