fe......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. Handheld devices and battle command applications will be part of that future force network, and E10 will provide a firsthand look at how these different systems interact in an on-the-move environment......“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...Read on at: http://defensesystems.com/Articles/2010/06/07/C4ISR-1-CERDEC-handheld-devices.aspx?s=ds_240510&admgarea=TC_DEFENSE&Page=1ENJOY!CC

“This could be the stethoscope of the 21st century,” Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt told an audience while demonstrating the device today at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.
GE Healthcare plans to use a dozen sites in Asia, the U.S. and Europe in an initial study to see how health-care personnel in three fields -- primary care, critical care and cardiology -- think the device can best be used, Omar Ishrak, CEO of the health-care unit’s systems division, said in an interview.
Immelt is doubling research into more efficient and affordable products targeted at areas including developing markets as imaging-equipment sales drop to an estimated $4.5 billion in the U.S. this year, down 31 percent from the 2003-06 average. The device, called Vscan, builds on GE’s miniaturization techniques, laptop-sized interfaces and the four-dimensional ultrasound introduced in 2002...
The device received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval last month and has a CE mark, which means it can be sold in Europe ... The product was developed by GE Healthcare’s engineers around the world, led by staff in Norway...
