The Pentagon will have its own App Store with blackjack and “ayrstraykami”

The US Department of Defense plans to open its own mobile application store, so that US troops can more efficiently book air tickets to countries where American democracy is urgently needed, and also effectively cause air strikes directly from their smartphone.

The Pentagon has allocated $ 2.9 million for the creation of an online application store, and Digital Management, located in Maryland, will be involved in the development. For papers, the US military project is called a “mobile device management system” and involves not only the distribution of applications for smartphones and tablets, but also the direct transfer of important military documents, as well as remote control of air strikes. The Ministry of Defense is also interested in applications that allow translating documents, inscriptions and human speech on the fly, as well as in applications that allow you to recognize a human face and issue a file on this person. And in the documents mentioned "advanced" version of maps Google Maps, designed specifically for military needs.

Alana Johnson, a Pentagon spokeswoman, shared her thoughts on this matter with Mashable reporters:

“The Ministry of Defense has a very big need for such applications. Together with our new partners (meaning Digital Management - approx. Translator) we are looking for the best solution that will allow our soldiers to integrate the necessary software into their personal mobile devices. ”

Of course, the military App Store will be protected from access by ordinary civilians with a powerful multi-level access system, which eliminates the possibility of information leakage. Each application in this store will be created exclusively within the walls of the Ministry of Defense and its defense companies, so it’s impossible to place any indie toy with third-party developers in the store.

The launch of the store is scheduled for July 2014, so very soon the US military will get its own alternative to the App Store, Google Play and Microsoft Marketplace.
