  • ASSIST’s most powerful application to date is called Tactical Ground Reporting System or TIGR (why not TGRS?), which is being used by soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  • Maeda set the stage by telling us of how intelligence in the military traditionally flows.  Soldiers observe something (e.g., men in keffiyeh with Kalashnikovs coming from and going to a mud-walled compound) and write up a report, which is passed up the chain of command to someone with the authority to decide whether or not to initiate an activity (e.g., call in an airstrike).  The information moves upward in the organization, and the soldier who made the observation may never know how it was used.
  • It’s the soldiers who need to know what’s happening in the compound, knowledge that could mean the difference between life and death.

  • Powerwave's RMDU has been well received by the government sector as the flexible answer for large public agencies to deploy advanced mission-critical wireless communications for urgent, on-demand scenarios and remote environments. Easily deployed by one person in less than 30 minutes, the RMDU boosts wireless capacity to support high concurrent call volume and data access, anytime, anywhere. The unit is an integrated mobile communications base station with a hydraulic-powered telescoping antenna tower, available in 20M to 50M heights. It supports a multitude of communication antennas and ancillary gear, such as surveillance cameras and searchlights, up to 600 pounds of payload. The RMDU also comes standard with an integrated self-contained generator, ensuring seamless operation and eliminating power availability concerns in remote locations. These features make it ideal for defense, homeland security and public safety agencies in a wide range of operational scenarios, including: setting up a mobile data center for radio communications during incident management; establishing temporary wireless coverage in areas devastated by natural disasters; and supporting military in remote wartime environments.

    "Corporations and governments are starting to worry about a common set of related issues. During the last two months I was fortunate to participate in several conversations with top corporate executives and foreign government officials all of whom are visiting Silicon Valley with increasing frequency. The conversations covered topics ranging from innovation and the rapid technological changes we are experiencing and must adapt to, the mismatch of skills and jobs and the changes we must institute to meet our evolving labor needs, and the state of the world economy and the continued impact of globalization. I want to summarize the topics being discussed by these diverse constituencies and provide a place for relevant comments and opinions."
