Army tests FCS parts
The Army conducted an exercise in July to test out parts of the FCS. See an article here. The neat thing about this is not the actual test or exercise but the photo of the soldier holding the control system for one of the remote vehicles used. The controller looks like a PlayStation one. It has been reported that these are the type of controllers being designed as the current generation of troops are familiar with them and can use them rather easily.
