Colleagues,
As reported in Defense Systems ...Smart-phone applications are part of everyday life, and the Army and other military branches have said those applications also will be a part of service life...
...The next major demonstration of how handheld devices, such as Apple iPhones, Research in Motion BlackBerries and Motorola Droids, can run Army specific applications will occur in June when engineers from the Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) integrate about a dozen smart devices into the Product Manager Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance On-the-Move Event 10 (E10) at Fort Dix, N.J...
...... Last year’s C4ISR OTM exercise was the Army’s largest-ever C4ISR and networking technology demonstration, and this year’s exercise supports efforts to achieve brigade combat team modernization in 2013 to 2014.

...“With smart, handheld devices, the Army wants to develop the capability to push down situational awareness and relevant information directly to dismounted soldiers,” said Ron Szymanski, a computer scientist at CERDEC's Command and Control Directorate. “You take a
commercial handheld device like an iPhone or an Android phone and throw it in a pocket, and you don’t even know it’s there. It doesn’t slow you down. It is not like strapping a hardened laptop and everything that goes with it onto your back."...
...The push to take a closer look at commercial handheld technologies came in mid-2009 when senior Army leaders, such as Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli and Chief Information Officer Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Sorenson, began to push for use of handheld devices and applications on the battlefield...
