Palmer Luckey’s Anduril launches EagleEye military helmet with help from buddy Zuck (www.theverge.com)

EagleEye, an AI-powered mixed-reality (MR) system designed to be built into soldiers’ helmets.

The modular hardware is a “family of systems,” according to Anduril’s announcement, including a heads-up display, spatial audio, and radio frequency detection. It can display mission briefings and orders, overlay maps and other information during combat, and control drones and military robotics.

“We don’t want to give service members a new tool—we’re giving them a new teammate,” says Luckey. “The idea of an AI partner embedded in your display has been imagined for decades. EagleEye is the first time it’s real.”

These things are an insane crapshoot so far, and besides, the only thing that can fix the US battlefield would be the ability to control investment and set industrial production targets, which would require a political revolution. Those "freedoms" are core tenets of economic liberalism now. Even if the US granted personnel actual telepathy through gene therapy, we aren't talking about the important parts of the battlefield. I'm pretty sure fusing their brainpower would make marines even less effective.
