The US army plans to roll out and Android smartphone as part of the next evolution of its “Nett Warrior” Programme.

Its hoped the Android device will reduce kilos of comms equipment down to just a few pounds for it and the Rifleman Radio that it will hook into.

Why a Rifleman Radio? The Army has no intention of ever allowing this device to connect to any type of civilian telecoms or Wifi based network.
