The Pentagon is saying that it can put out a rather impressive piece of collaborative technology.  Reading brain signals and everything.  I hope there are applications for this tech beyond shooting people more efficiently.
From Wired:
In a new effort dubbed "Luke's Binoculars" -- after the high-tech binoculars Luke Skywalker uses in Star Wars -- the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is setting out to create its own version of this science-fiction hardware. And while the Pentagon's R&D arm often focuses on technologies 20 years out, this new effort is dramatically different -- Darpa says it expects to have prototypes in the hands of soldiers in three years.
