Ieds, Nomads, Dc4s, And Otterboxes

摘要

Hardly a day goes by without someone in theater being killed or injured by an IED, and something must be done. It is clear that an accurate initial report of the location of the lEDs saves time, resources, and lives, but with our antiquated government-issue GPS, Military User Equipment (MUE), that is not always possible. Indeed, the PLGR and DAGR are no help in coordinating the exact coordinates for an IED, as they have no inherent communications capabilities unless they are hooked, via cables, to tactical military radios. They are not a handheld computer with the capability for add-on applications. They do not have a camera or a rangefinder, and cannot determine the position of the IED without the operators with the GPS devices putting themselves in harm's way by getting close to the device, which in many cases is not a wise choice because many lEDs can be remotely detonated by the enemy.
