I wish I could have summed this up as well as Rob Curtis Gearscout Blogger at Military.com

"The system has the ability to make nearly anyone a 1,000-yard marksman in the right conditions, and presents the possibility of a one-man sniper team.
Before anyone goes off on the “batteries will fail” or “technology like this will never be reliable” rantpath, just look at the vast amount of electronic gear our troops are already deploying with. Night vision, GPS, communications … these are all examples of electronics that were made to work on the battlefield.
TrackingPoint will be no different. The issues this system faces are cost, night vision compatibility and wind detection technology. If any two of those three issues are addressed, I can see TrackingPoint’s tech, or that of it’s competitors, taking it’s place on the battlefield."

Proposing the TP Scope as a key component in Battlefield connectivity I thought was a bridge a little to far. The idea that a soldier would raise a rifle, look through a scope in a war zone to look at data is, um, strange particularly when a chief concern of the military is Green on Blue, Blue on Blue Friendly Fire Incidents, it makes no sense. Sudden gusts of wind, lack of thermal or NV capability and cost sums it up pretty well. Would this be useful in the kit of one soldier in the squad, absolutely. No reason it could not be carried by the Squad's Designated  Marksman and be a very useful tool when called upon. The Military is pretty far down the road on comprehensive systems like the Individual Soldier System that can do a hell of a lot more in a much smaller package.
