I don't think so. It's part of the Wonder Weapons Series on the History Channel also.

Basically it will be part of a mini IVIS, but with men not machines.

Can't disagree there
How about using them to determine where hostages are being held ? :hmm:

I would imagine that if the people who could possibly be taken hostage (in a warzone) had chips in their heads, enabling the tracking of said individual, that hostage taking would certainly cease. Either that or when you tracked the chip, you would just find a head.

Problem is, if such chips are used for potential hostages, the number of amateur brain surgeries in war zones will rise drastically
:hmm:

Doesn't have to be in the head....could be anywhere...and certainly not advertised to all and sundry in advance :hmm:

Maybe it would boost the Soldiers to be more effective , you know the one with the most kills wins the game

but do not make it run on VISTA most of the Soldiers hardware (rifles etc etc) will not be compatible!

That's the ideal solution.
Problem is, defense technology is supplied by private companies, who like to brag around in order to make money.
Previously, new weapons were kept secret until used with devastating effect. Today, new weapons are advertised when still in planning stage and then cancelled


Also, if the chip is not in the brain, then insurgents will not only perform impromptu brain surgery but also impromptu X-rays and rectal examination with their hostages
