CAN TECHNOLOGY SAVE SOLDIERS LIVES IN IRAQ
Why is TIGR an example of horizontal technology?
Horizontal technology involves the transfer of technical knowledge and hardware from one geographic location to another. The TIGR system allows departing units to transfer tactical information to their replacements. When the troops return from patrols, they feed information back into the system, adding to the data available to the next patrol leader. By simply clicking on icons, they can bring up not only sites of past hostile action but also photos and background on local leaders , some to see and others to avoid, videos of hostile and safe places, and reports from previous patrols

The Army's adoption of this program takes advantage of the military's most effective and valuable information gathering resource - the Soldier, because of this “every Soldier has a sensor” concept. Soldiers and convoy commanders record in TIGR any observations and events that occurred along their routes. Both the modern and future battlefields rely heavily on programs like TIGR to assist in gathering and processing information from the asymmetrical battlefield. Now they have their own tool at company level that pulls up a wealth of information that helps determine their safest route.
