DARPA Seeks Soldier Memory System
Washington (UPI) Sep 13, 2004 The Pentagon is hoping to build a soldier-mounted camera, video and audio recording system to capture battlefield events. The system replaces what the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency once called Life Log, a soldier automatic memory system intended to record not just battlefield occurrences, but also what books and magazines a soldier read along with emails that were sent and received, according to Wired.com. The ASSIST program, as envisioned by DARPA, would integrate a small digital camera, a microphone, GPS, wireless network connectivity, and a digital compass onto a soldier's vest or helmet. The imagery, voice and data could be sent immediately back to headquarters or edited and downloaded later to make for more accurate after-action reports. DARPA expects to award four to eight development contracts worth up to $4 million each, for one year. It reportedly pulled development on the more intrusive LifeLog in February. All rights reserved.
