FUTURISTIC MILITARY SMARTPHONES

WELCOME TO THE  FUTURE

THE NEXT GENERATION MILITARY SMARTPHONE (actually it is the Samsung Galaxy Note 1 which many of us use LOL)

 DARPA’s TransApp program is about creating a whole new process of innovation for the entire military community, including law enforcement and rescue operations.It seeks to provide its uses with unmatched capabilities.

 Officially DARPA’s TransApp program is to “develop a diverse array of militarily-relevant software applications using an innovative new development and acquisition process.”

It uses the Android operating system,however the OS on this futuristic smartphone is pretty much like any other Android operating system.All the Apps have colorful icons.

 

the Apps can be broken down into the following

1.The maps app,is the most important of them all. It looks a little bit like Google Maps, but it does a lot more. Basically, the map serves as a platform on which the phone can run any number of plugins, everything from drawing up mission plans to tracking drones.

2.A related app called TransHeat records where the soldiers go so that future missions will know which routes are well-travelled and which are uncharted and potentially dangerous.

3.Another, called PLI, is used to avoid casualties from friendly fire, known in military-speak as “blue force tracking.”

 

4. There’s a ballistics calculator app for snipers, as well as a general guide to weapons and ammunition called WAM.

5.Debrief makes it easy to compile mission reports on the fly.

 

6.Trip Ticket keeps track of personnel and inventory.

 

7.GammaPix is for measuring radiation levels.

 

8.SmartTRIAGE helps medical teams identify and catalog injuries or health problems on the battlefield. It’s as simple as tapping on a human figure, selecting the diagnosis, and recommending a treatment plan.

 9.One app is called WhoDat. it can be described as “a soldier-driven picture book,” but you can think of it as Facebook for war. It lets soldiers study up on who’s who both before they’re deployed and while they’re on the battlefield.You can flip the pictures over, put notes on them, share content as a way for them to keep track, and you can separate them into groups: good guys, bad guys, friends, targets for reconciliation etc.

 

And what’s especially important and impressive is that the vast majority of the apps work off the grid.

 

This kind of ability to source information will give a edge to soldiers fighting in varied terrain from the urban theaters to the jungles.it will help the future soldiers to collect and dessimate information much quickly from a individual basis onwards to theater level.

In short the entire battlefield picture is in your finger tips.
