"The four inch gadget that helps British soldiers to pinpoint Taliban snipers"
Another example of high-tech on the battlefield...
Christopher Leake recently reported at the U.K.'s DailyMail website:
"The tiny computerised ‘sniper spotter’, which has been developed by Army scientists at the top-secret Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in Wiltshire, identifies the shooter’s location in an instant, enabling British troops to fire back immediately and accurately.
The new high-tech gadget – just 4in square and weighing 11oz – is worn on a soldier’s arm. It is connected to a shoulder sensor which pinpoints the location. "
