New Technology to Lighten Marinesloads Modern-day warfighters face heavyiterallydds on the battlefield, as they often carry more than 100 pounds of gear,
To remedy this, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has presented the Marine corps with a 3-D computer simulation program that measures equipment weight, distribution and effects on body mechanics and individual warfighter performance.
The programalled ETOWL (Enhanced Technologies for Optimization of Warfighter Load) nd its companion software is being delivered to the Gruntworks Marine Expeditionary Rifle Squad
ETOWL calls to mind popular combat-themed video games such as all of Duty. Users can create a Marine avatar,

Remember when the future of warfare was bigger bigger missile payloads, bigger tanks and bigger warplanes?
In an era of asymmetric warfare, tiny innovations such as the CICADA are what might be needed to take the fight to the enemy in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
