Need to call in an airstrike? There’s an app for that.

I realize the iPhone is changing the world, but I never cease to be thrilled at how.

If the government had developed it, it would have cost $20,000,000, taken 4 years to develop, and would not have worked.

“No!
What we need is a multi year C4 and CISR solution that we let a bunch of sub contractors get in on spread the work out to many stats and spend billions of dollars on to do this!
Does this punk realize how much money he is screwing up!”

Your post is exactly why the Pentagon cannot be exempted from budget cuts.

Somehow, I don’t think the soldier developed this app first.
He just wasn’t issued all the best toys. (which is a shame)

Waypoints? Maps? Sat view overlays? All easy. Even encryption. So what cost $240M (in Pentadollars, or $26k here)?
I’m better a module that auto-targets Hellfires and the like onto Talis who get the smart (or not) idea of using it. Now THAT would be a Killer Ap!

It is American know how and ingenuity like this that makes our military the most dangerous on the planet. If the politicians of both Parties would just let these people fight and back them up when they do we could succeed in any war.
