Along with that I imagine a whole lot of other systems which will make being an infantryman absolutely no fun at all. Smart munitions for every conceivable platform. Micro-missiles. Ubiquitous thermal/millimeter wave radar imaging on platforms everywhere. Drone swarms. Widespread hacking with systemic effects on entire nations and global systems. All sorts of stuff that will may well make the normal human ability to act or react close to meaningless, or shift more and more "combat" away from anything like what we know today and closer to a ubiquitous strategic/deniable warfare that is global at all times... even more so than today because the possible scale of impact is much larger.
