Summary Many untrained forward observers (UFOs) have urgent needs to call for resources (such as, call for indirect fires, medical services or evacuation, resupply or airlift, etc.), but are not proficient in the procedures used to request needed resources. In stressful conditions, this task becomes even more difficult.
The goal of this project is to design and develop a handheld device-based software system architecture that can assist UFOs perform call for resources in stressful conditions by asking a series of simple questions and use answers to those questions to generate structured calls for resources. The system is intended to be simple enough for use by any military member without training on the system itself or prior knowledge of procedures to call for resources.
