Transformative Apps
Abstract
Transformative Apps will create the information infrastructure required to enable mission support and tactical applications (apps) to meet the efficiency, security, and availability requirements for use on mobile military networks. Of particular importance is development of a new data synchronization architecture between the handhelds and the backend computing/storage nodes. Additionally, appropriate middleware services and libraries will be developed to facilitate shared capabilities such as map viewing, apps management, and collection of logs, usage statistics and user feedback. Apps, together with handhelds and networks, will be tested in different training environments as well as in deployed environments. Performance and usage will be carefully tracked and user feedback collected to guide rapid enhancement of apps. The effort will create a military apps development community by reaching out to non-traditional performers and will explore new models for software acquisition based on end-user empowerment. The effort will leverage the resources, experience, and lessons-learned derived from the Tactical Ground Reporting System (TIGR).
