Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (M/HHCE)
Abstract
Project EQ8 - The Common Operating Environment (COE) is an approved set of computing technologies and standards that enables secure and interoperable applications to be developed and executed rapidly across a variety of computing environments. The Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (M/HH CE) is one of the six computing environments under the COE, which provides the standards for all Army hand held applications enabling the use of common End User Devices by Soldiers, thereby eliminating redundant devices and reducing the Soldiers' load. The M/HH CE supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) 1 (Unified Network) and LOE 2 (Common Operating Environment) by utilizing (1) interoperable data, message, and waveforms, (2) sensors and applications that enable operations across domains and (3) integration with Joint C4ISR and strike capabilities. Nett Warrior (NW) complies with the technical standards documented by the M/HH CE and provides the dismounted common computational platform for other products relevant to dismounted Soldiers. Through compliance with the M/HH CE, software applications from other programs are integrated with the NW system, reducing the need for duplicate hardware and resulting in reduced Soldier Load. NW leverages commercial smart phone devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide the dismounted leader an integrated mission command and situational awareness for use during combat operations. NW applied feedback from conventional and Special Operations units to procure and implement Secure but Unclassified (SBU) networking equipment for Security Force Assistance Brigades to enable faster, more flexible Mission Command data exchanges with Joint and Coalition forces while maintaining the existing integrated mission command capability with Joint Battle Command Platform systems. NW uses Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Non Developmental (NDI) communications equipment to create a robust and flexible SBU network that enables faster and more accurate decision making in fights at the tactical level. Requirements for the M/HH CE are established in the AROC approved COE Information Systems Initial Capability Document (IS ICD) and the draft M/HH CE Requirements Definition Package (RDP).
