	Future Infantry Soldier Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Future Infantry Soldier Technology (or FIST) is a project by the British Army, which aims to enhance the infantrymen's combat effectiveness in the 21st century as part of the Future Soldier project.
		The goal is to integrate a modular system of all equipment, weapons and their sighting systems, radios that the individual soldier carries or uses, in order to increase his overall effectiveness on the battlefield.
		As well as linking into the new technology for the soldier it is designed to link in with other new communications including Cormorant and Talon as well at the UK UAV project called Watchkeeper.

	Future Soldier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Future Soldier is the overall name given to a multi-nation military project by the United States and its allies.
		Soldiers will require not only enhanced versions of existing equipment (rifle, pistol, knife, helmet, armour, clothing), but also new forms of equipment that will become possible as new types and combinations of technologies become viable for battlefield deployment (such as exoskeletons, micro robot vehicles, surgery-enhanced vision, invisibility shrouds, and others).
		Some of the early Future Soldier equipment was tested in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
