	tomorrow's transportation, future urban transportation systems,automated transportation
		The system might also be programmed to rendezvous with an express or line-haul carrier, and in serving as either a collector or distributor, provide the opportunity to improve the complete transportation service.
		The new systems study found that these problems are surmountable, and that a prototype system could be developed, tested, and evaluated in less than 10 years at a cost of about $250 million.
		The personal rapid transit system described earlier could operate at less than 10 cents per passenger mile with 15,000 passengers per day; the dual mode system might cost as little as 7 to 8 cents per passenger mile, depending on whether the vehicles were privately or publicly owned.

	Future Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Future Systems is a London-based architectural and design practice, headed by the couple, Jan Kaplický and Amanda Levete.
		Future Systems shared many of their founding principals with the British High Tech architects (Kaplický previously worked with Rogers, Renzo Piano and Foster).
		However, Future Systems tended towards more radical, less 'machine aesthetic' buildings that were no less high tech.

	Future Combat Systems (FCS) / Future Combat System (FCS)
		The Future Combat Systems [FCS], the Army’s flagship transformation program, is a networked “system of systems” that uses advanced communications and technologies to integrate the soldier with “families” of manned and unmanned platforms and sensors.
		The Future Force is the Army's future full spectrum force; organized, manned, equipped and trained to be more strategically responsive, deployable, agile, versatile, lethal, survivable, and sustainable across the entire spectrum of military operations from major theater wars through counter terrorism to homeland security.
		FCS is envisioned as a networked “system of systems” that will include robotic reconnaissance vehicles and sensors; tactical mobile robots; mobile command, control and communications platforms; networked fires from futuristic ground and air platforms; and advanced three-dimensional targeting systems operating on land and in the air.

	Future Combat Systems - Background
		This is a unique opportunity to develop a system of systems design starting with a "clean sheet of paper" that will separate the manned C2 Vehicle from the sensors and separate robotic firing platforms to develop a strategically deployable, affordable force for the 2012-2025 timeframe and beyond.
		The FCS could be a distributed network centric system with all of the functionality necessary to be successful on the modern battlefield distributed among multiple vehicle elements whose capabilities sum to the capabilities necessary for victory in all forms of combat.
		The FCS will be a multi-functional, multi-mission re-configurable system of systems to maximize joint inter-operability, strategic transportability and commonality of mission roles including direct and indirect fire, air defense, reconnaissance, troop transport, counter mobility, non-lethal and C2 on the move.

	Factors Governing Future Operating Systems
		With a new crop of operating systems arriving in the next two years, we recommend that a multi operating system strategy be considered.
		The first operating system to achieve stability on this platform may define the operating system of the future.
		If the operating system is not scalable, it means that at the very least, the program must be recompiled to run on the new operating system.

	Defense Tech: "FUTURE COMBAT" GETS REAL
		Future Combat Systems -- the U.S. Army's $117 billion plan to turn entire divisions into networked, robot-reliant forces in one fell swoop -- is over as we know it.
		And at the heart of the network is "the 'System of Systems Common Operating Environment,' which will provide a common set of services, interfaces and applications," notes Government Computer News.
		Instead of the endlessly-overlapping, proprietary networks the military uses so often today, "it’s an open-source system and will have many of the off-the-shelf capabilities that are there or being developed in the commercial world," said retired Lt. Gen.
