The application is for DRDC CORA (Defence Research and Development - Center for Operational Research Analysis) and is intended to be a proof-of-concept.
The concept being proven, is that a handheld computer (such as a modern smartphone), can be of great assistance in the day to day operations of a modern military
.... but
That statement's a bit too simple; a bit too benign. The intent, is to prove that a system for passing messages currently handled via radio traffic using SMS/MMS or email will be of great benefit. The further question being raised in this is: would such a system be of benefit if every single person in a unit had one? For example, if every single Person in every Section of every Platoon of every Company of a Brigade had an iPhone with my app on it, would that increase the flow of beneficial information? Or would it instead lead to information overload, and an irate Colonel?
