It probably has a thing on it like a screen saver password - ignore it for X-amount of time and it locks.

I'd also suspect that it falls under the same rules as other encoding/encryption, so every day the code key changes for communication between it and other units... so capture one today, and at midnight it stops working. ]]>Jul 15th 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/15/miltrak-gives-soldiers-the-down-low-on-encroaching-enemy-forces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/15/miltrak-gives-soldiers-the-down-low-on-encroaching-enemy-forces/
Meh, it's a good concept, but untill it's inside a soldiers visor, it won't be used...

Think about it.

Shoot back at an enemy shooting at you?

or

Take your eyes off the enemy and start looking at what is essentially a smart phone.]]>Jul 15th 2007 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/15/miltrak-gives-soldiers-the-down-low-on-encroaching-enemy-forces/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/15/miltrak-gives-soldiers-the-down-low-on-encroaching-enemy-forces/
