A Mobile App Called 'Tactical NAV' is Being Used in the Fight Against ISIS in Syria and Iraq

A mobile application openly available on Apple's App Store is being used by U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq to conduct both field artillery and close air support operations against ISIS combatants with resounding success.

The application is called Tactical NAV, and it's available on the iTunes App Store, and was created by a former U.S. Army captain who used his own life savings to build a low cost and accurate software solution to provide Soldiers and military service members the tools needed to help accomplish their mission at home and abroad, and also protect and save U.S. military lives in the combat environment.

"Tactical NAV simply works. Over 100,000 military warfighters are using the app today, and it's extremely accurate and effective. I'm humbled and grateful that my fellow warfighters are trusting the app and that it's potentially saving our Soldiers' lives," said Jonathan J. Springer, Tactical NAV's creator.

Taken from an email Springer received from a Soldier based in Syria, it states, "I love this app [Tactical NAV] -- we all do. We were able to shoot with our M109A6 Paladin using Tactical NAV, and the results were steel on steel. The app is accurate to within 1 meter, all verified by Army survey. Thanks for what you're doing Jonathan, this thing is a lifesaver," said the Soldier, whose name is being withheld for operational security measures.

"Since day one, I have always believed the military could utilize smartphones for operational purposes," said Springer. "I always saw mobile devices as a combat multiplier that could potentially assist military service members during combat operations, and in turn, possibly save their lives in the process."

He goes on to say, "Why not use what is at our fingertips to operate more efficiently as a military force," said Springer. "The potential for saving lives using something as cost-effective as an app like Tactical NAV just makes sense."

Tactical NAV is currently available on the App Store and will soon be available on Google Play. The app assists military service members and first responders with mapping, plotting, and sharing waypoints and location information, along with building overlays and synchronizing assets with other users on the battlefield.

The application is a military-quality software solution that meets the World Geodetic System 1984 standard (WGS 84) and has been tested on various combat missions to ensure the utmost accuracy and reliability that a military-oriented app can, and should, provide.

"Tactical NAV is just as accurate as anything the Pentagon has in their arsenal today. And it does many of the same functions that the Department of Defense spends millions of dollars on -- all at a fraction of the cost. And it's all about protecting the warfighter because when it comes down to it, that's what it's all about," Springer said.

Hydro Engineering Inc Produces a Quick, Deployable Equipment Wash Rack

Newly designed trailer mounted equipment washing and decontamination system from Hydro Engineering, Inc. integrates on board water storage, high pressure hot water cleaning, wash water recovery, water filtration and recycled water retention tanks into a simple to deploy and operate system.

The trailer mounted diesel engine powered Hydroblaster includes: fresh water carrying capacity of 850 gallons, filtered and recycled water capacity of 650 gallons, oil water separation, solids filtration to 5 microns, easy access drains, complete freeze protection for all tanks and pumping systems, lockable system enclosure, Hydromat portable wastewater collection mat with shield strips.

Capturing wastewater from equipment washing or recovery of disinfectant and/or seed sterilant solutions used in decontamination and agricultural seed control are widely accepted applications for Hydro Engineering's Hydromat. The Hydromat is quickly deployed to create a fluid containment wash pad where fluids can be collected and then filtered and recycled for continuous use.

Hydromat is constructed using heavy weight (35 ounce) vinyl coated fabric that makes it tough and resistant to tearing and abrasion. The perimeter water retention air berm is quickly inflated with a battery powered rechargeable air pump. A surface level fluid skimming pump is placed in a low spot that serves as the fluid collection point. Fluid is pumped back to the Hydroblaster for filtration and recycling through the wash process.

Hydromat life expectancy is significantly improved with the addition of abrasion resistant Hydromat shield strips that protect fabric from punctures or tears. Shield strips are placed under and over Hydromat through vehicle track lanes to meet load requirement from trucks to heavy rubber tracked vehicles.

To extend deployment intervals the Hydroblaster fluid source can be toggled between filtered recycled wash water for washing and fresh water for final equipment rinsing.

Nexcess Joins Dozens of Major Networks Via the Detroit Internet Exchange

Nexcess, a leading provider of performance-optimized cloud application hosting, is now peered with dozens of major networks via the Detroit Internet Exchange (DET-IX).

By joining the DET-IX and peering with other members, Nexcess can offer eCommerce and CMS hosting clients low-latency connectivity to bandwidth providers and content distribution networks. The Detroit Internet Exchange is one of the largest not-for-profit internet exchanges in the world. It is a major regional peering point for ISPs, content distribution networks, and other businesses with large networks. Read latest news here.

Internet Exchanges provide lower latency connectivity by shortening the network distance between the large networks that constitute the internet. Nexcess can now peer directly with content distribution networks such as CloudFlare and Akamai, ensuring that data moves between Nexcess's network and its clients' preferred CDNs with minimal latency.

"Nexcess is committed to providing the best possible performance to every site and store on our platform," commented Chris Wells, President and CEO of Nexcess. "By connecting directly to major content distribution networks and internet service providers via DET-IX, we're able to offer even faster connectivity throughout the US and to the rest of the world."

Peering is faster than alternatives such as transit, which relies on a third-party bandwidth provider to move data between networks. Peering with bandwidth providers via DET-IX also allows Nexcess to exert greater control over network routing, further reducing latency and enhancing performance for Nexcess clients.

Nexcess chose to peer via the DET-IX Internet Exchange because of its location in Southfield, Michigan, which is also home to Nexcess's largest data center and global headquarters.

AudioFile Magazine Commemorates L. Ron Hubbard on the 10th Anniversary of Stories from the Golden Age

Michele Cobb, Publisher of AudioFile Magazine, recognized Galaxy Press and its 10th anniversary of the Stories from the Golden Age, (2008 – 2018), this past weekend. The presentation of a plaque commemorating Mr. Hubbard on the anniversary was made in front of a display of the award-winning audiobooks in the L. Ron Hubbard Library at the Galaxy Press offices in Hollywood. Read this here.

In making the presentation Cobb stated, "AudioFile is pleased to recognize the hard work and accomplishment of Galaxy Press in putting together this impressive collection of full cast audiobook recordings that showcase performance and production value at their best." The Stories from the Golden Age unabridged audiobooks had been awarded Audiobook of the Year by Audiofile Magazine consecutively for 6 years running, 2009-2014.

A key characteristic of radio theatre of the 1930s and '40s, the time period when these stories were written, was that the entire cast performed together, live in the radio studio. By having the full cast of the Stories from the Golden Age record in the same sound room at the same time, Galaxy Press was able to recreate the high intensity energy of old time radio shows in its audiobook performances. Some of the best audiobooks published to date was the result. So it was appropriate that the plaque commemorated L. Ron Hubbard on the anniversary and recognized Galaxy Press for "bringing radio theatre to the 21st century and making it enduring all over again."
