  • Wasn’t the UK’s BATES system supposed to do that back in the 90s?

    There were so many changes to it though before it even came into service.

    I don’t think it ever worked like it should have done and then was replaced by something else smaller and more modern as well as a lot cheaper.

    The 40mb disk drive unit was a 2 man lift and had to be shut down before moving the vehicle it was in. That was really handy for artillery that was supposedly mobile.
