DARPA is looking for developers of mobile applications for military purposes.

A well-known organization - DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - the agency of advanced defense research projects in the USA) - is at the origin of the Internet, has published on its official website a notice in which mobile application developers are actually invited to work at the agency.

The essence of the future work is described as follows: DARPA has a significant reserve of modern equipment (in particular, sensor systems ( Adaptable Sensor System ) sensor systems), the potential of which is far from being fully utilized due to the lack of appropriate software. More specifically, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (UAV - unmmanned aerial vehicles), indispensable for reconnaissance, observation and reconnaissance, could be much more effective on the battlefield if there was an application that allows you to control them all at once, without having to control each The device separately - is approved in the note.

All these serious problems in software hardware resource tracking systems, which are based on technologies used in smartphones ( built on smartphone-like technolog ) can be solved by the community of developers who have experience in creating mobile applications in terms of more efficient use of network features, accelerometers, user interface. Another point is also important: nowadays, the creation of programs for ADAPT ranges from three to eight years, and by attracting a new team, DARPA expects to significantly speed up this process.

As an example, one of their managers, DARPA, describes approximately the following: around a certain military object, a network of hidden sensors of tracking systems is deployed, which accumulate and exchange information among themselves, which should be easily accessible by the watch with the tablet.

In the final, DARPA expects to get a complete ecosystem consisting of a set of programs that the military could use in a way similar to how smartphone users have access to paid apps in stores in numerous software stores.
