In: IHS Jane's Defence Weekly Vol.55 Issue 7, 14 February 2018, p.5 (122)Summary: The locations of previously unpublicised US-led coalition bases were revealed when Strava, a company that makes an app that tracks its users' training activity, released a global heatmap of all the data it has gathered. Western military personnel routinely use the app when they run around the perimeters of bases where they are deployed, the result being that the facilities are highlighted as bright patches on the heatmap. These stand out particularly starkly in many areas of the Middle East where there is little other Strava activity.
