By using connected technology, humans in the field get a big upgrade, essentially turning soldiers into high-tech intelligence agents. The military calls it Hyper-Enabled Operator tech, or HEO.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with a line from a sci-fi movie: &#8220;Our soldiers are turning into RoboCops!\u201d Can&#8217;t really argue with that, we all saw it coming, didn&#8217;t we? The big-shot military strategists have been busy creating this MacGyver-like tech for our brave soldiers called &#8216;Hyper-Enabled Operator tech&#8217; or HEO to run the show on the battlefield. This isn&#8217;t about just throwing on some augmented reality goggles and playing real-life Call of Duty, oh no. This is an intricate blend of sensors, software and networks. The internet of war things, to put it succinctly. <\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s skip the glossy tech lingo and look at the playground. Person A is an average soldier on the battlefield. Person B, however, is our new HEO &#8211; the embodiment of connected technology, not quite Tony Stark&#8217;s Iron Man, but close enough. B, thanks to HEO, looks at the battlefield like John Wick looks at a room full of goons, complete with architectural analysis, probable trajectories, and the sort. <\/p>\n<p>If B can see anywhere from 10 to even 50 feet into a building, why send A skulking around corners, providing potential adversaries an easy shot? Instead, we can have B conduct the &#8216;Internet of Battlefield Things&#8217; orchestra, deciding when, where, and how to strike. Now, isn&#8217;t that a cool composer to have?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re probably thinking, this sounds great, but what is this really about? This is reality, not an action film. Well, my dear reader, just like skydiving or eating a ghost pepper, &#8220;the experience ultimately belongs to the user.&#8221; It&#8217;s all about how one uses it. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the part where technology bridges the gap between fantasy and reality. When you deliver the right information at the right time, those fantastic action sequences are not so far-fetched anymore. That&#8217;s the power of the Hyper-Enabled Operator tech. <\/p>\n<p>In the end, what know-it-alls like ourselves have to understand is that this isn&#8217;t quite about creating Super Soldiers. It&#8217;s about using technology to give our valiant warriors the right tools and knowledge, and let&#8217;s face it, a bit of a lead on the field. That being said, remember when Iron Man said, &#8220;Part of the journey is the end&#8221;? Seems like our military tech magicians took it quite literally. <\/p>\n<p>And suddenly, every soldier can potentially embody the spirit of a superhero. However, always remember, the Hyper-Enabled Operator tech is only as good as the soldier controlling it. So better keep up, folks. Who knows, the next recruitment ad might just end with, &#8220;Join the army. Be a superhero.
