BANC3 bags R&D contract
BANC3 will continue work on a number of cutting edge technology research and development projects for the US Army under $15 million in contracts announced on 22 October.
The contracts will see the company provide research and development support for a new Soldier Visual Interface Technology (SVIT) system being developed to provide soldiers better display resolution, brightness, see-through optics, full colour visualisation and wireless interfaces.
The heads-up, see-through Augmented Reality (AR) system issues the warfighter coordinated data and video visual from a weapon sight, a special transmitter and an Android apparatus, such as a smartphone.
The company will also provide life cycle production software support for the CECOM Software Engineering Center's Tactical Internet Management System (TIMS). Network support for the System Deployment Integration and Network (SDIN), and maintenance of cyber posture for SDIN Cyber Security Cell will also be conducted.
Other development, testing and sustainment activities for fielded systems will also be undertaken for the contracts.
Babu Cherukuri, president, BANC3, said: ‘We are honoured by the opportunity to continue serving the army and this important mission, which we have supported for more than 10 years. We are proud to have been selected to work with the army to ensure our warfighters have the most advanced technologies for decades to come.’
