Australia is developing a data recorder that can be worn by soldiers on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe \u2018Fight Recorder\u2019 \u2014 akin to the so-called black box used on aircraft \u2014 would act as an emergency beacon to reduce the time taken to reach and treat battlefield casualties,\u201d said an Australian Ministry of Defense news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian companies Myriota and IMeasureU will receive government funding for the project. \u201cIn addition to serving as a location beacon, the data captured by the Fight Recorder could be used to inform the design and performance of soldier equipment and protective wear,\u201d said Minister for Defense Industry Christopher Pyne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
