Best Android / iOS apps for the army
The US Army summed up the results of the Apps for the Army (A4A) contest, in which the best programs were selected that were suitable for installation on soldiers' smartphones. The competition was held in five categories: access to information, tracking of coordinates, training of soldiers, actions during a battle, and others.
As a result, the jury determined the list of 25 winners : three in each category and ten more, awarded special mention. Of these, 11 programs were created on the Android platform, 8 for the iPhone, 1 for the BlackBerry, and the rest are web applications. Each US Army soldier can install them for free by logging in with his smart card on the website of army software utilities storefront.mil/army .
Among the five winners are exclusively programs for Android and iOS. Perhaps these ideas can be used to develop similar programs for the Russian army.
The Physical Training Program (iOS) helps soldiers develop their own physical training plans that will fit into the Army Standard of Physical Readiness Training. The utility contains templates for plans and exercise videos. The developer is the Army Communications Center in Fort Gordon, GA.
