Palmer Luckey’s Anduril launches EagleEye military helmet with help from buddy Zuck (www.theverge.com)

EagleEye, an AI-powered mixed-reality (MR) system designed to be built into soldiers’ helmets.

The modular hardware is a “family of systems,” according to Anduril’s announcement, including a heads-up display, spatial audio, and radio frequency detection. It can display mission briefings and orders, overlay maps and other information during combat, and control drones and military robotics.

“We don’t want to give service members a new tool—we’re giving them a new teammate,” says Luckey. “The idea of an AI partner embedded in your display has been imagined for decades. EagleEye is the first time it’s real.”

I see some people worried about the implementation of this tech and it's effectiveness but what has the u.s / israel done other than prove that no amount of tech can beat out actual experience and will?

u.s americans have nothing to fight for- even if an adversary were at the doorstep of the states, if this tech were to ever see mass adoption it would just be used to supplement the long and arduous training (or experience) competent soldiers have to go through

it's the same mentality we all see in civil professions, ai and other tech are shoehorned in to replace actual experience and wisdom leaving workers bereft of most opportunities to gain expertise- all this will do is create a much weaker and incompetent imperial warmachine

These things are an insane crapshoot so far, and besides, the only thing that can fix the US battlefield would be the ability to control investment and set industrial production targets, which would require a political revolution. Those "freedoms" are core tenets of economic liberalism now. Even if the US granted personnel actual telepathy through gene therapy, we aren't talking about the important parts of the battlefield. I'm pretty sure fusing their brainpower would make marines even less effective.
