Develop Android terminal attack tool smartphone or remote air raid

According to the Xinhua news agency, the U.S. military is developing an application designed to use smartphones to summon bombers to carry out air raids. The app, called Atak (Android Terminal Attack tool), was developed by the Massachusetts nonprofit de-Perot Laboratory, the American Science website reported. Developers say the technology may help reduce the likelihood of accidental friendly or civilian casualties in combat operations. The system will apply to Android phones, which can be used for navigation and space awareness, said the head of the Raytheon Laboratory. In addition, it can control unmanned flight systems. With the help of Atak, military personnel can use their communications devices to connect with military satellites and communications networks, allowing them to scout the battlefield, set up safe areas and track air deliveries. This information can be easily shared with pilots. The software interface is based on a map, allowing users to label areas or specific buildings, to help ground personnel to increase background information, transmission to bomber pilots. The head of the Raytheon Laboratory said U.S. Special forces have recently begun testing such applications overseas. Next year, Atak may be more widely used in training and combat environments.
