Man-portable military computers are a critical element of today's increasingly technical battlefield. Laptop computers support light infantry divisions in terrain mapping and online maintenance as well as other applications. Forward observers use handheld computers to pinpoint targeting for gunners firing non-line-of-sight weapons. Other functions are envisioned for ultra-lightweight pocket computers. Such applications include monitoring a soldier's physical condition and, when uplinked to global positioning satellites, full terrain mapping and direction finding (DF).
