CAVNET
CAVNET was a secure military forum which became operational in April 2004. A part of SIPRNet, it allows fast access to knowledge acquired on the ground in combat.[1]
It was used in Iraq war, and helps US military forces against the insurgents' adaptive tactics by providing data laterally and on a broader scale than with traditional reports.[2]
The data shared between patrols on "The Net" (as is it is sometimes referred to by soldiers) has already played a crucial role to dismantle grenade-traps hidden behind posters of Moqtada al-Sadr that US soldiers often rip down.[3]
