This is the SoldierEyes map, a tactical application for iPad that shows friends and foes' real time positions in the battlefield. It isn't a game, even while it looks like an RTS, similar toRaytheon's Advanced Tactical System (RATS).
Like RATS, the encrypted SoldierEyes network uses smartphones or iPod touch units to gather the information and distribute it. Soldiers can even use an augmented reality app to capture terrain and enemy data to share automatically with other units. All that information is displayed automatically on the iPad and relayed to commanders anywhere in the world.
Sounds like a neat game to play, until you realize the system requirements include actual bullets and mortar fire.
nice info here!

ReplyDeleteI dunno how I feel about this. Certainly it is cool, but it also encourages a disturbing disconnect between commanders and the HUMAN BEINGS they command..
ReplyDeleteHey a good friend of mine is actually working on the development of this app.... they're making it for android, too, and incorporating it into iphones, so each individual soldier can recieve real-time data through an iphone
ReplyDeleteThey can't be serious.. using an iPad for this? Pfff...
