The big and beautiful smartphones, a wide range of mobile apps and ubiquitous LTE networks have become increasingly popular in the civilian sector, but the military sector still seems to be lagging behind, and DARPA's goal is to try to change that. American Tech blog Gizmodo has learned some of the first-hand information about the DARPA project: they use a lot of Samsung equipment, and they have a highly customizable Android system, and a series of applications designed for war development. For example, some applications can help snipers calculate firing data, some can provide comprehensive weapons information, and others can track drones and mission plans through map tools, and even some medical diagnostic applications, as well as a social network that allows soldiers to list allies, civilians and enemies. Some of the results of the project have been implemented in Afghanistan with limited field applications, but it will still take a long time to truly become conventional weapons.
