I'm not 100% sure after reading the article if the system uses the cell network. Like you, I would certainly hope not.

I like this, they need away to improve 9-Line like this also. I remember when we invaded Iraq 2003, we marked all the Windshields With 9-Line, CAS and Radio FERQ's and call signs. Then as we moved on had Smart cards and then able to put in the VIC lap tops. I talked about this years ago with COM guy's about having that info on Tablets, and being able to secure them for things like this.My last deployment to Afghanistan was attached to JSOTF-A and supported ODA teams out on their VSP'S and had a Airforce TACP attached with ODA and he mentioned it also. I would say that they are using to lessens learned, and needs of troops down range. BZ Keep making things better for troops on ground.
