- Technologies to avoid friendly fire
02-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
New emerging technologies could soon help reduce the number of friendly fire incidents on the battlefield. One simple system called Rover is already improving mission accuracy in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Rover-equipped laptop gives the air controller on the ground the technology to see the battlefield scene through the aircraft pilot's eyes, before a bomb is released. Experts claim that if Rover had been available in 2003, the death, by friendly fire, of British soldier Matty Hull might have been avoided.
