Abstract. This paper is concerned with integrating mobile technology (such as smartphones and tablets) into tactical defence environments. The motivation for and key technologies involved in this research are discussed in detail. The vehicle for conducting this research is the Defence Science and Technology Organisation's Net Warrior initiative. The initial work conducted on this research program under Net Warrior has investigated how distributed object and publish/subscribe middleware can be incorporated into a smartphone to achieve information interoperability with tactical platforms and systems.
