How smartphones have become military supercomputers | Sitrep podcast

Award-winning Sitrep brings you discussion and analysis on defence, foreign policy and the stories affecting the British forces, presented by Kate Gerbeau.

The Army’s about to test software which, with the help of tiny drones, can give soldiers a 3D model of their battlefield on a phone or tablet in minutes.

The ‘Farsight’ system eliminates the need for network connections, big servers, and long waits. A former US special operations commander who’s helped develop the software tells us what it will mean to troops on the ground.

Russia expert Emily Ferris explains how Moscow’s technology compares, and how military call ups have created a ‘brain-drain’.

And the NHS says three-quarters of its hospital trusts are now ‘veteran aware’. Two pioneers of the scheme tell us what it should mean for the care of those who have served their country.

You guys need constellations of hyperspectral satellites, big and small drones. Planet, Wyvern Space, and Draganfly for example. SAR is great but what about snow and Marines have known about hyperspectral for years. But for Digital Twin of Tokmak, you may need digital twin giants like Niantic, Meta, Apple, Autodesk. Having said that, computer architecture from Big Computers, HPC, to edge computers, like smartphones, needs to be distributed. You could virtually run Battle of Malati Bridge, 3Commando archives and Allied landing in Sicily with Big Data and modern kit. Ask South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Crimea, Vietnam, Phillipines, ASEAN and NATO to fund the project. Digital Twins of Tokmak, Bakhmut, etc NEEDED NOW. To Russian Military Intelligence and spies, what's your Post Putin plan and pension? What is in the best interests of Mother Russia, Post Putin? Zelensky pays $500, 000 for military helicopters, but there has to be many, many ways to solve Post Putin Problems.
