203.79.86.133 10:32, 28 February 2006 (UTC) I marked it in need of updating, it makes reference to something coming into use during 2005, which was awhile ago now.[reply]

Unfortunately I don't particularly know the details, or care to check them out right now.

Windows to Linux

When was the move from Windows to Linux decided? How?

The Linux decision was in 2003. See magazine report at http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/issues/2003/Nov/Land_Warrior.htm Msybe we need to reflect some of Col. Gallop's comments in the LW history section. JXM 16:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Land Warrior and Future Force Warrior

How are these two articles/projects related? It's not really clearly stated in either articles, although FFW makes a fleeting reference to LW, is one of them possibly an offshoot of the other? Both entries on these projects seem to run parallel to each other in terms of their objectives, should we consider a merger? --Seng Yew 09:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Update

The latest news on the LW program is here. Unfortunately, I don't have time to summarize it and update the WP page - maybe someone else can. JXM 19:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Badly Written

The last few lines under the history section are badly written and need to be modified or removed.--71.12.103.126 05:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - they're not just badly written, they're completely irrelevant. Go for it!! JXM 02:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Project Cancelled

The Land Warrior project was zeroed during the FY 2008 R&D request budget. I've made a note of it, and just gone through the article switching tenses. A more wideranging edit is needed, I guess. Banality 18:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the overall change to the past tense is a bit premature. The termination of the program is being requested in the 2008/9 budget submission. In any case, the upcoming deployment of current LW-SI systems to Iraq is scheduled to occur before FY 2008 starts, and some ongoing maintenance and support activities for these systems will probably be needed beyond that time.

WP's history of LW should reflect some of this, rather than just consiging it all to the past tense. JXM 21:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)'[reply]

I thoguht that this system was cancelled some years ago. I had heard it was cancelled after they couldnt make the computer and battery lighter, and the battery last longer. They needed to make the battery lighter becuase the soilder could only carry 2 into the field and still be just under the US Army's weight restrictions, and to make it more powerful becuase the battery only lasted 12 hours.Gundam94 16:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Someone edited in "LAND WARRIOR SUCKS AND SO DOES 5.56 AMMUNITION" and i can't erase it and he may also have taken out the picture of the solider wearing it.

never mind someone fixed it
