Greetings Economists,
Marshall, for me there are a lot of resources around this topic. I
would think a significant part of this would be regulations, wearable
computers, and labor sources. Rather than throw tons of references to
wade through here is a sample of relevant topics -

Defense Review on wearable computers. Next generation
quoting -
about a U.S. Marine Corps contract they just won to develop modular
wearable computer (MOWC) systems for Marine Corps infantry personnel.
Symbionics and Icuiti are working with the Marine Corps Warfighting
Laboratory (MCWL) in this endeavor. These integrated technologies are
actually right up DefenseReview's alley, since DefRev's been
interested in wearable computers/wearable computing for quite some
time now. Defense Review has been following the work that's being done
at the MIT Wearable Computing Lab, specifically their MIThril research
platform for next-gen wearables. The MIT Wearable Computing Lab is
part of the MIT Media Lab. We're actually big fans of the MIT
wearables (wearable computing) program.
