In military contexts, cognitive dominance allows warfighters to dictate the terms of engagement effectively. It is increasingly important as near-peer states and nonnation-states challenge traditional advantages, necessitating rapid adaptation to maintain a competitive edge.

USSOCOM's HEO concept is built on four technology pillars: Data/Sensors, Communications, Computing, and Human-Machine Interface. These pillars aim to improve situational awareness, reduce cognitive load, and accelerate decision-making for Special Operations Forces.

Modern mobility solutions provide essential data and computing capabilities at the tactical edge, improving situational awareness and decision-making. Devices like the Samsung Galaxy Tactical Edition are designed for extreme environments, offering powerful computing and secure communications to support operators in the field.
