[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A soldier's phone could be used to reveal the location of enemy troops
  • It links the handset to a microphone built into their helmet's ear protection
  • Noise of fired bullets is tracked and used to reveal the assailant's position

#1  Mmmm...30 years ago I recall, uh somebody told me, a story of a fellow messaging a phone picture of a urban sniper hide to a rotary pilot's phone, who promptly dumped a rocket in his window.

Good to hear the Army is adopting current technology.
