The U.S. military will test the iphone's operational performance or

On the afternoon of June 3, the U.S. Army said it planned to conduct a desert test in the United States next week to test the operational performance of the general market for iphones, Android phones and tablets. Chiarelli, the army's deputy chief of staff, said that starting next Monday, the company's iphone, ipad and smart phones and apps to install Google's Android operating system will be tested for New Mexico State's White Sands Missile Range and nearby Texas's cloth Leesburg.　　During the six-week assessment, soldiers from the Second Brigade Combat Team of the First Panzer Division will test that the equipment will not withstand harsh desert conditions. If these devices can pass the test, the army will consider buying and "for those who need them now".　　For the army, their main advantage is the ability to take on more existing equipment, such as viewing high-definition video from drones, but lighter, easier to use, and hope that the equipment will be relatively inexpensive. The application that is about to be tested focuses on practicality.　　For example, some applications that are expected to speed up the treatment of wounded soldiers help expedite requests for medical evacuation by sending the exact location of the injured soldier and using the touchscreen menu to enter key information such as patient name, health status and type of injury. Another application called "The Eye of the soldier" turned the smartphone into a battlefield navigator, in addition to displaying an electronic map, it has an "amplification" model that allows users to open a camera to scan the horizon, and then pop up a digital marker that shows the direction and distance of the target on the battlefield.　　and "Biometrics recognition" can use images, fingerprints and retinal scans to confirm a person's identity. So far, the army has invested 4.2 million of dollars in research into the development of military applications and smartphone technology.
