This commentary examines the possibilities and limitations of 'Future Soldier' (FS) systems, which are based upon network-centric technology but do not address the complex human-centric issues associated with urban warfare. The author makes reference to the US Army's Land Warrior System and the Singapore Armed Forces' Combat Man System, noting their weight and power-supply problems, before warning against the dehumanization and micro-managing tendencies of FS.
