Network-centric warfare:
This single system development of SIPE quickly shifted the concept of the individual
soldier as a mobile gun platform to becoming a node within a larger troop network.
Today the platoon is emerging as a single organism linked by shared day/night
vision, hearing, and real-time computer linkage.
Today military programs worldwide are moving rapidly to exploit the SIPE concept for
the future infantry combat mission, including
US:            Land Warrior, Future Force Warrior
Germany:  Infanterist der Zukunft
Italy:         Soldato Futuro
France:      FELIN

STAR - Selective Target-Acuated Rifle

Vietnam: 200,000 small-arms bullets per enemy casualty.
$40,000 to buy, and 2 tons carried to the front line.

With this patented technology, the soldier never misses his target.
The low-cost STAR system monitors the target's trajectory and the
swing of the rifle, and automatically fires the weapon at the instant
when the bullet will pass through the remote target.

Instead of blazing away at the jungle in hopes of hitting or maybe
frightening the enemy, the STAR soldier just squeezes and sweeps.
When a hit is possible the weapon fires... and somebody falls down.
Automatically, up to 650 casualties/minute with an M-16.
For a raw recruit: one shot, one kill, out to 300 meters.
