Gotta admit, this looks like a pretty fun videogame

Still the question is that if you have 2 guys manning 10 stations on the perimeter, what happens when the enemy attacks from three directions. Task saturation seems like it can make the manning savings a liability.

Put them on the border and fire away.

Do they really use Xbox controllers? Don't they know mouse control is better than joysticks?

So satellite link them and have 20 guys CONUS in air conditioned rooms providing perimeter security for all of the war theater? How many bases are likely to be attacked from multiple directions simultaneously?

Right? Some games sure, I'll use a gamepad, but shooters? Everyone bends knee to the KB&M mustard race

Have a bunch of Arfcom basement dwellers doing it for unlimited Jolt Cola and a tacked thread for the video and manning problems would go away.

Absolutely none... That shit could never happen now. Only in the 1900s.

So pretty much a CROWS system , attached to a shipping container controlled by a xbox 360 controller.  Why not just use the control grip that is normally used with the CROWS.

So they put a CROW system on a guard tower. So what? Not that big of a deal. We used to use vehicles with a crow as a makeshift guard tower.

Xbox controllers seem to be the goto for testing remotely controlled sttuff before they upgrade it to a 200lbs control system.
