LAS VEGAS -- The U.S. Army is considering buying smart optics for infantry squads, sources said.
The service is drafting a requirement for a squad fire-control system designed around a common weapon optic, a technology that would link all of the squad members' optics together, according to a source who agreed to discuss the effort on background.

I see this as a good tool to have. It would be great for training...But, How tough will it hold up to the demanding life of the infantry ? we all know that electronic's are prone to failure....It better be tough enough! Could be bad news if it failed when it was needed !
