What Advancements in Technology Do You Think Today's Military Would Most Benefit From?

Technology on the whole has become a crutch for far too many people and in too many sectors of society. People that have access to information tend to get lazy and almost never consider the source of the data they review. That being said however, being a vet and a former IT security professional I would have to lean toward more defensive low tech body armor to increase survivability and an increased use of intervention tech like; unmanned assault vehicles, networked micro drones that identify and relay visual/audio to troops on the ground of their immediate surrounding area to avoid ambush, superior numbers, etc...

laser weapons in space..controlled like the UAVs from SchrieverAFB

Utilizing nanotechnology to develop stronger, lighter, and more impervious body armor and personnel protection. Small arms fire killed more Soldiers than IEDs. The military needs to stop investing in multimillion dollar platforms that can be destroyed with hundred dollar solutions.

Educate the human

Cyber

Every member should receive an Oura ring to track health.

Make sure every veteran has a computer and give classes to help veterans learn how to use it

Smart UAVs.

I believe the most critical advances in military technology should emphasis improving computer software and hardware, sensor systems (biological and chemical), weapon systems and robotics. These key components will be critical strategically to maintain the military's position and focus on the safety of our soldiers.

I think they would benefit more from a slew of clinical trials for every illness they come home with. Clinical trials can lead to cures or possibly a way to have some sort of decent life. Our Veterans are dying left and right. Get them off the streets, open up clinical trials, get them the help they need to tackle this life as a disabled Vet.
