"I met the Zephyr guy at CeBit last weekend and they hope to work with Nike (or a rival), so I assume they would compete with Polar."
Polar already collaborate with Adidas on various things so it would seem logical if Zephyr decided to work with Nike.
This device by Zephyr is just a heartrate monitor with no real substance and there is no evidence or mention of what data will be captured to aid any military personnel wearing it.
The Zephyr BioHarness can measure heat-rate, respiration rate, skin temperature, posture (degrees from vertical-determines wearer is upright or prone) and activity. Activity is a measure of how hard the wearer is working. The device has applications beyond just sports coaching. In healthcare application, it can be used to monitor post surgical patients, long term elderly monitoring, etc.
