Ravenswood to support US Army NIE
Ravenswood Solutions has received a $1.3 million contract in support of the US Army Joint Modernization Command (JMC) with communications services during a network integration evaluation (NIE), the company announced on 28 August.
The NIE will take place in autumn 2018 at Fort Bliss, Texas and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. During the exercise, JMC will analyse current army soldier challenges and assess new capabilities and doctrine.
Under the contract, Ravenswood will provide support via its Mobile Ground Truth System, known as FlexTrain. FlexTrain is a rapidly deployable, global positioning system-based instrumentation system that tracks vehicles, units and individual participants during training or testing exercises.
The system enables real-time casualty assessment; and provides a record of causal factors affecting capabilities changes and a common operating picture that shows both live and constructive elements.
