Need Air Support?

JTRS update: Radio systems move closer to deployment, while GMR gets cut

There is an app for that:
"In the future, the SDR system will continue to evolve along these lines and eventually adapt attributes and features of popular commercial devices such as tablets or iPads, where functionality and capability will be in the form of applications added through the software, he continues. Different applications will be uploaded, run on the SDR for specific missions and different needs using waveforms with different performance characteristics based on mission requirements, Miller adds."
Or you can pull a Dick Tracy:
"'We have an Android-based device that integrates with the Rifleman Radio and is worn on wrist that pulls up and displays maps,' Miller says."
Thanks to anonymous for the comment on my post about the JTRS that sent me to the above article.
