Land warrior is a U.S. advanced capability/advanced information system being designed for U.S. foot soldiers.

Basically each soldier will have a small computer that suppplies realtime situation information and other cool sci-fi like abilities.
It will include such things as aiming a soldiers weapon by a monocle/remote camera-so that a soldier could hold his weapon out around a corner-get an accurate sight view from the weapon directly to his head gear-so he can fire his weapon accurately without putting his body in direct line of sight to what hes shooting at.
The monocle will work much the same way the ones for apache pilots do now.
All information available to each soldier will be available to all of the soldiers on that access channel.So the information one soldier in a sqaud knows,all the soldiers in a squad will be able to access thru the unit and view thru the monocle.

the entire system is not defined yet.For instance-one design uses a full helmet instead of a monocle so as to give the soldier environmental protection also like a chem suit.

There are actually a few different companies with different designs working on this project.So inforamtion about it is even more "sketchy" than the norm with secret stuff.But the link above is a good example.

BTW, I'm sure people will have noticed that some of these are not yet in the game, but I figured that people having seen what IS in the list might have some new ideas...?
