Abstract : The Army is interested in developing applications that take advantage of computing power, which is becoming more readily available on the battlefield. One such application is video collection and processing. Soldiers often bring their own mobile devices into the field, and those devices are untapped resources that can be used as cheap sensors. To use the sensors in this manner, significant data communication is required, and, unfortunately, bandwidth is a scarce resource on the battlefield. For this reason, we are interested in establishing and using wireless ad hoc connections between devices for data transmission. Our goal in this work was to create a proof-of-concept application that demonstrates the feasibility of using devices in this manner. Our prototype application enables streaming video from one Android device to another over a wireless ad hoc network established between devices that are in range of each other.
