This DISA/NSA initiative is a critical, urgent step in leveraging DoD's ongoing investments in intelligence, reconnaissance, and command and control capabilities. Since the evolution of wireless mobile communications, DoD personnel have identified the need for secure devices to provide the same wireless features for classified systems as that of an unclassified system.

Through technologies like Blackberries, wireless e-mail, web browsing and document viewing, a new breed of mobile workforce has been enabled. Today's information technology must increase situational awareness, productivity and on-call status in order to be responsive to the needs of today's workforce. Through the use of the Secure Mobile Environment Portable Electronic Device (SME-PED), DoD personnel will be able to securely access classified information systems while away from stationary mediums. The SME-PED is designed to provide unclassified and classified voice up to Top Secret and unclassified and Secret data for its users.
