Apparently, Boeing is getting heavy into the Army’s new "Future Combat System" plan full force. Already, 600 Boeing workers in the Kent, WA area are working on the contract, and at least 100 more are expected to be added by the end of the year. But, the real crazy part is that that number is only a, "tenth of the total number of engineers, software developers and others across the country who are working on the project."

The Army, in a $21 billion dollar move, plans to have a whole brigade outfitted with, "a family of 18 vehicles and robots, sensors, computers and communications equipment." In the mean-time, a 3,000 soldier test brigade is putting the technology to the test.

The Army then plans on buying 15 brigades worth of equipment over a 20 year period.

That, my friend, is a lot of money.
