IDF Ground Forces Undergo Communications Revolution
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - A communications system being introduced into the IDF's ground forces will revolutionize the way the army engages the enemy and interacts with its units on the battlefield. The system, called Digital Ground Army (DGA), generates a map, updated in real time, of all forces - friendly and hostile - in a battle arena. DGA is linked to the computers of tanks and cannons, and displays every shell and mortar fired at targets. DGA will also warn of impending friendly-fire incidents. Such a system does not currently exist in any other Western military.
