The contemporary combat soldier seems to be given a new electronic gadget or gizmo to carry into combat after every meal.
Night vision goggles, GPS receivers, Sure Fire lights and radios are among the dozen or so electronic gadgets that hang off an infantry grunt like ornaments.
They call it the "Christmas Tree Effect" and it has become a real pickle of a problem for the military.
The burden of carrying the devices is less important than the ability to use them effectively. In particular, the lack of an integrated platform for controlling all of these electronic devices has diminished soldiers' effectiveness at performing their primary duty: bringing down bad guys.
The Kord Group, a security company based in Canberra, Australia, has developed the "SmartGrip Rifle Input Control" system, which allows soldiers to carry out pre-defined actions on multiple pieces of equipment by pressing a combination of keys with the fingers of one hand. This provides soldiers better control of their devices and ensures they keep their hands on their weapons and their eyes on their targets.
" A commander could be looking through a sight to target the enemy," said Trevor Finklaire, director of business development at a subsidiary of the Kord Group called Kord Defence, in an interview with Army Technology. "He could press forwards on the control to talk to his soldiers, and press another chord to talk to his commander and tell him what's going on. While all this is going on, he could press another chord to use his laser pointer to help describe to his soldiers what's going on. "
SmartGrip, which connects to other devices either by radio frequency or tiny cables that run through the rifle sling, can be attached to nearly any rifle. The control systems weighs a little more than half a pound, fits in the palm of the hand and operates on a single battery for the better part of a year.
