This information sheet describes the work of the Advanced Mobile Systems Initiative in the Research, Technology, and System Solutions Program. Mobile computing describes the use of computing technology on the go, through devices such as smartphones, tablets, portable computers, and wearable computers and sensors. The focus is on pervasive mobile computing at the tactical edge—environments in which front-line soldiers and first responders operate. The research explores solutions to critical problems such as how smartphones and similar devices can best interact with infrastructures to provide optimal capability and resource conservation; how to deliver information and avoid information overload; and how to rapidly adapt smartphone apps and verify their security characteristics.
