my idea is that a simple bulletproof vest would have a small computer in it that would perform a number a tasks, including:
1) it would have a heart beat moniter.if the soldiers heart stopped while he was using the vest it would shock him in an attempt to start his heart. this would have an off switch.
2) the vest would be coated in a special dye that can only be seen through special glasses. the dys would be a bright, fluro colour so that it is easy for allies but not enimies to see. this would make locating troups in the dark alot easier.
if the soldier was killed (this would be determined by the above mentioned heart beat moniter)the vest would squirt out another special dye, this time in red, so that allies would know not to go near it because...
3)...it is now armed with a motion sensitive bomb! this is not as crazy as it sounds. the bomb is activated so that enemy fighter who try to steal the body or ammo of it will be killed(this is especialy true in places like iraq). this will prevent bodies being destroyed by the enemy. the bomb will be turned off by a wireless control that is carried by other soldiers.
4)the vest will also have a sensor in the soldiers weapon which count how many rounds have been fired. the info will be sent back to base so thay will no which units need relieving.(an average no. of shots fired will be sent as not all troups took the sam ammount of ammo into battle, and it assumes troups will share ammo).
5)the vest will also have a gps reciever so base will no exactly where troups are. it will also provide maps to stop troups getting lost.
Reward: less killed soldiers
