U.S. Army's Future Combat System

The U.S. Army has recently updated their Future Combat Systems website and it is fantastic, check it out: FCS website. There are pretty cool videos of the Army's Future Combat System (linked below) [I just noticed there are even more videos on that website, but they’re quicktime and not linkable]. One is much cooler than the other, but I'll let you figure out which. Safehouse looks like it is the first video and Vanguard is second.

I've been reading up on these systems and they're all in the works or already running (but not yet fielded). I think it also features some version of the Trophy Active Defense system being sent to Iraq now (when the RPG misses, it isn't because the enemy has bad aim).

Be sure to check out all the new hardware at the FCS website at some point, it'll help make more sense of the chaos in some of the videos.

There is also a commander simulator that requires a relatively powerful PC to run, if you have one with, download the “game” and give it try. It isn’t something you can play in a few minutes, this thing is deep and will take hours to master, but it’s very cool

It's nice also that they're pretty high res, thus the large file sizes.

Safehouse (75MB WMV)

Vanguards (55MB WMV)
