Raytheon Sends Android To Battlefield – Forbes.com

Android is going to pop up in many places.  Interesting to see it on the battlefield.  Of course, I have trouble getting good coverage in the 3rd largest city in the US.  As frustrating as that might be, I can’t imaging need the phone in this situation and getting a big X over your data/cell connection.

Using Android software tools, Raytheon engineers built a basic application for military personnel that combines maps with a buddy list. Raytheon calls the entire framework the Raytheon Android Tactical System, or RATS for short.
