National Defense Magazine - December 2007
Welcome to "What's New in National Defense,? a podcast on military
technology and defense industry trends, from the December 2007 issue of
National Defense Magazine.December"s cover story takes a look
at one the biggest paradoxes in today's high-tech military: Troops in
combat zones do not have easy access to information.The Army,
as the other branches of the military, has spent billions of dollars
during the past decade building large networks and communications
systems, but that wealth of technology does not necessarily flow down
to low-level troops.The problem often is described as a
"digital divide? between the technology haves — the upper echelons of
command — and the have-nots — the platoons and squads that are deployed
in remote areas. These small units for the most part are disconnected
from the Army"s main tactical networks and only are able to communicate
with short-range voice radios.
