This is truly cool.
It's the first battlefield computer I've seen. I imagine the US army has something but most of what I've seen doesn't seem to have the possibilities this does. It's on a Linux OS apparently. What I would want as a battlefield commander is biometrics on my unit members as well (bp, respiration, hydration, etc.). That could be very useful in judging capabilities in the field when they aren't within touching distance.
Of course, this unit better have fairly strong encryption..
