This just goes to show you that there is an iPhone app for virtually anything. Last week, USGIF member company Raytheon announced an iPhone application that tracks friends and foes, shows their positions on live, real time maps and provides secure communications. Called the One Force Tracker, the Raytheon iPhone software can also be used by first responders like police, firemen and emergency medical technicians. According to this NY Times article, this iPhone app is a rare case of consumer hardware and software concepts being adapted for military use. Wow. We are seeing the future of GEOINT.
