Digital command and control system soldier-machine interface for ground combat systems

Force XXI is the vision to synthesize the technology, doctrine, and organization of the U.S. Army so that it can fight and win the wars of the 21st century. Digitization-taking advantage of the microprocessor revolution-is a key enabler of the force XXI plan. In the Crewman´s Associate Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD), crew stations for ground combat systems are being developed that allow the soldier to use digitization to maximize weapon system performance. The soldier-machine interface to a digital command and control system is an integral part of the crew station design
