  Today's ST has a report on what 3 SIR is playing with in terms of FIBUA. I dpnt have online access but here is gist.
  
  There is the surveillance ball, which is a ball fitted with camera and is remote controlled to be thrown into a room; a corner shooter - rfile with camera to shoot around corners and a portable extendable ladder up to 1 storey building.
  
  Sounds like cool toys but these new gizmos plus regular combat gear would probably add lots of weight to the soldier! Is 3 SIR the guys at Bedok Camp?

  Ladder I heard of, the gun too. But a ball with a camera? Now if they can just make that fly, we can start light saber training.

  the recon helicopter they mentioned is a popular r/c heli model. its a good choice the saf chose that cos the capabilities are darned good and its only about $1500 for the complete heli system.
