Killer App: Tactical Nav
 An iPhone app that tracks down the Taliban has been developed by Capt. Jonathan Springer, a U.S. soldier.Tactical Nav, which is expected to be available through Apple's App Store next month, assists soldiers in mapping, plotting and photographing waypoints on a battleground and conveying coordinates to supporting units. OK, my mind is spinning now. Springer used armored vehicles, remote observation posts and harsh combat conditions to test his invention, which can also be used to direct artillery fire on enemy positions or call in helicopter support. Springer said most soldiers use smartphones and the app has been designed specifically for them. I can't wait until the add-ons come out, like "Track the Taliban at Night", "Where's Bin Laden", and "Get Them Where They Sleep". Posted by: gorb 2011-01-25 |
