"In the case of a tank, this could mean that the Tank Commander could potentially wear a helmet mounted sight that would allow him to "see clearly through" the walls of the tank, day or night.
This is done by taking a constellation of staring camera sensors placed on the outside of the vehicle, and then stitching their video images together using software and sheer processing power. This virtual visual sphere can then be projected into the tank commander's helmet mounted site. Think of a virtual tour of a room in a home, but real-time imagery."
I see unicorns and care bears everywhere.
I am more and more of the opinion, that in the future you wont destroy tanks or other vehicles - just rather invade the electronics and just put few settings bit off.
Tanks of old (for example) would operate as long as there was ammo, gas and dudes inside. However modern tank can be full of all of those and still become totally unusable as the first BSOD kicks in.
