Ministry Of Defense is in charge of Gundam
Over on the website for the Ministry Of Defense's Technical Research & Development Institute in Japan, the program for the 2007 Research Paper Reading Meeting ~Defense Technology Symposium 2007~, to be held on November 7-8 at the Hotel Grand Hill Ichigaya, was made available. At the end of the program's second page (PDF format), under the exhibition session's Ground Equipment category, there's a listing for "Towards The Realization Of A Gundam (Advanced Personal Equipment System)". Though the form the exhibition will take is unclear, the news is generating buzz with the otaku crowd overseas.

The Ministry Of Defense's Gundam revealed
Sankei News posted a photo and description of the "Gundam" advanced personal equipment system that made the rounds in the news last week. The ground combat-oriented system consists of a bulletproof vest and a helmet with a display that shows a physical status monitor, GPS positional info, and video of other locations. Three sets will be shown off at the Symposium this week, with one on display and another for visitors to try. The Ministry Of Defense's Technical Research & Development Institute is quoted as being perplexed with the reaction the listing received as the research was focused on group IT and it was listed as Gundam because it was called that by some of the researchers several years back.
