FOR USERS
One managed phone for messaging, files and authorised location functions.
- Messaging and collaboration
- Controlled file access
- Location awareness where authorised
- A consistent phone and account setup
PROJECT WIRELESS WOLF
Managed Android phones for unit communications and control.
W.O.L.F connects affordable Android phones to a private platform for messaging, files, location awareness and device management.
Each phone is assigned to an authorised user. The unit can control its access, revoke it if lost, recover it and rebuild it for reissue.
- Working pilot
- 10 managed phones
- Functional dashboard
- Formal assurance pending
- COMMUNICATIONS
- Messaging and collaboration
- FILES
- Controlled file access
- LOCATION
- Location awareness where authorised
- DEVICE CONTROL
- Issue, revoke and rebuild
What W.O.L.F provides
W.O.L.F gives users selected services on a managed phone while allowing the unit to retain control of the phone, account and access.
FOR THE UNIT
A repeatable way to prepare, issue, control and recover phones.
- Managed phone setup
- Recorded issue and return
- Access removal
- Recovery, rebuild and reissue
FOR LEADERS
A clear view of phones, users and access.
- Phone and user records
- Device status
- Revoke and recovery status
- Rebuild and reissue progress
How it works
Each phone is prepared, assigned to a user and connected to the services required for the task.
- 01
Prepare
Apply the managed setup and register the phone.
- 02
Assign
Record the authorised user and required services.
- 03
Connect
Give the phone private access to W.O.L.F.
- 04
Enable
Provide the required messaging, files or location functions.
- 05
Revoke or recover
Remove access when the phone is lost, returned or no longer required.
- 06
Rebuild and reissue
Prepare the phone for another authorised user.
Current pilot
W.O.L.F is a working technical pilot. Its main phone, service and device-management functions are demonstrated, but wider use still requires testing, governance and formal approval.
WORKING NOW
- 10 managed Android phones
- Functional web dashboard
- Private phone access
- Messaging and file services
- Location awareness where authorised
- Phone registration and status
- Access revoke
- Repeatable rebuild
- Guardian check-in
- Remote lock and wipe demonstrated in testing
BEING DEVELOPED
- Stronger user roles
- Expanded Guardian controls
- Application management
- Improved monitoring and recovery
- Multiple separate W.O.L.F projects
- Support for larger phone fleets
- Formal trial evidence
STILL REQUIRES DECISION
- Agreed user requirements
- Independent security testing
- Formal governance
- Classification decision
- Residual-risk acceptance
- Authority to operate
- Approval for wider deployment
Security and approval
W.O.L.F includes managed phones, private access, named accounts, device records, access removal, recovery and evidence capture.
These working controls do not themselves provide formal approval. Independent assurance, classification, residual-risk acceptance and authority to operate remain decisions for the appropriate Defence authorities.
What happens next?
The next step is a controlled trial to determine whether W.O.L.F is useful, reliable, manageable and supported by sufficient security evidence for a wider pilot decision.
- 01
User value
Confirm that users can complete the required tasks.
- 02
Technical reliability
Test messaging, files, location and management functions.
- 03
Phone and account management
Evaluate issue, access removal, recovery, rebuild and reissue.
- 04
Security evidence
Collect the evidence required for governance, risk and assurance decisions.
