How smart they can get? Cockpit displays a la Litton

Article Abstract:

Litton's smart multiple function display (SMFD) system supports tactical data messages to make today's cockpit instruments systems more user- friendly. The open systems architecture concept used by Litton make tactical data messages adapt to various machines and missions, largely depending on the software utilized. The displays, equipped with a set of basic hardware modules and configurations, can accommodate future expansion at the same time providing different functionality needed by each aircraft.

The battlefield taxi

Article Abstract:

Wheeled armored personnel carriers (APCs) are emerging as the personnel transport method of choice in an increasingly mobile warfare environment. The APC, along with its derivative, the armored fighting vehicle, is expected to undergo a series of continuous updates in the very near future. One of the latest development in APC design is the increasing use of explosive reactive armor and ceramics instead of the usual aluminum and steel.
