New Android-IOS Apps Military Drone Control. The military is looking into building apps on the Android and iOS platforms to let soldiers use cheaper, business products out in the field. The plan is that these commercial products like iPad or Android tablets will be employed to help with reconnaissance. Military could send valuable information to command units much more quickly and even remotely control cameras on board military drones.
Firms like Harris and Intelligent Software Solutions (FH&ISS) have been contracted to build these military Android and iOS apps. Harris is working on an app that allows the user to remotely control the camera on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to find enemy weapons or troops by using an iPad to view what the UAV finds. ISS is preparing an app for the iPhone and Android phones that tell the soldier what bombings have occurred and where the fighting is taking place. It also sends the data to the command center to help with tactical decisions. Harris is also developing an app for facial recognition during an interrogation to match and identify the suspect within a system. This would require less risk for soldiers who must scout ahead for enemy position and relay that information back.
