Army demonstration of commercial cell phone technology on the battlefield relies on Raytheon technology

摘要

The Raytheon Co. One Force communications solution linked soldier smartphones and tablet computers during the U.S. Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE) at Fort Benning,Ga. The experiment transmitted data, voice, and video simultaneously over handheld commercial devices via 3G and military tactical radios without any interruptions in service, Raytheon officials say.Soldiers were able to see everyone's position in the group, talk over the networks, exchange data messages, and view live streaming video from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). They also were able to collaborate on devices using white boarding: Pictures drawn on one smartphone or tablet were broadcast to other devices in the network, even in dense foliage.
