newest 'killer' app

[T.Garrett]

It's called KILSWITCH for your Android device

For years, American Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) have been forced to call in their Close Air Support (aka airstrike) requests using radios and paper maps, then wait half an hour or more for help to arrive. During that waiting period, the JTAC would also have to carefully coordinate with and monitor the positions of inbound aircrews in order to avoid friendly fire. However, doing so is far easier said than done when you're in the middle of a firefight. But thanks to a new ruggedized Android tablet from DARPA, our frontline soldiers can call in the air cavalry in less time than it takes to order a pizza. Not have a pizza delivered, order one.

For years, American Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs)...

Christ, do I hate pseudo-technical military jargon.

Why tell 'em to "Go in and kill the motherfuckers" when you can say "Make the incursion, and neutralize the target with extreme prejudice."
