The military, understandably, is obsessed with adding the newest technology, but to date, smartphones haven’t been added to the mix. That’s been a big challenge and one the military is trying to tackle, [according to Danger Room](http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/04/soldiers-wearable-computers-may-get-an-iphone-brain/?ref=killscreen.com)

Gen. Peter Fuller, the officer in charge of outfitting soldiers with all their standard gear, who oversees Nett Warrior. “We’re trying to figure out: How do we move Nett Warrior from its current configuration?”
