43-45 Editor’s Choice Products ON THE COVER:
USMC Machine gunners Cpl. Charles Trask (aka “Gnome Warrior”) and Cpl. Jimmy Miller (aka “Home-Grown,” background) were awarded Purple Heart medals for battlefield injuries. They are painfully aware of the harshness of battle, and how hard the body and electronics have to work to survive. In this issue of Military Embedded Systems, we profile numerous new technologies designed to survive on the battlefield – and to make more successful and lethal the job of Marines and other warfighters.
