Abstract

The scope of this article will take into consideration a couple of factors which could provide military benefits established by BCI technology. BCI technology is still in development state. That is why this article will mostly provide predictions for near future. Assumptions made for future of this technology are strongly based on current development state of BCI in military field of its design. All military devices described in this article are currently at development state. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency tries to apply BCI technology in military equipment. Their work is also focused on providing help to soldiers who come back from missions with combat injuries. Article will take in consideration safety factor during combat missions, which is essential on battlefield. Most of devices described in this article are being developed to increase this factor.
