LAND 125 will enhance the performance of the
individual close combat soldier and small force
elements as part of a network enabled force.
The selective application of technology will
provide incremental improvements to lethality,
survivability, sustainability, mobility and C4I
capabilities, to enable an evolutionary
enhancement of tactics, techniques and
procedures.
