[ Press Release ] U.S. Navy Research Exercise with Windows Mobile

To explore options for reducing IT costs while enabling a mobile workforce, the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) has conducted field testing of a mobile command and control solution comprised of off- the-shelf components, including Microsoft® tools and technologies and phones powered by Windows Mobile. The exercise included Inca X’s Live Media GPS and enabled ONR to demonstrate innovative ways to leverage IT for collecting and analyzing operational data.

ONR Director of Disruptive Business Technologies Dano DeBroux initiated the AMC proof-of-concept exercise to demonstrate how mobile platforms present a significant opportunity to reduce the Navy’s IT footprint and support infrastructure while enabling business and operational capabilities for its distributed, highly mobile workforce. The findings from an analysis of alternatives strongly favored technologies from Microsoft® and UK-based Inca X due to ease of integration with existing IT infrastructure and applications, Microsoft’s mobile and cloud technology roadmaps, and an architecture that supports custom and third-party application development.
