MASS supports Eagle Warrior exercise
MASS has supported the Royal Air Force (RAF)-led exercise Eagle Warrior at the RAF College in Cranwell, the company announced on 12 January.
More than 200 personnel took part in the exercise, as part of an annual series of 'horizon-scanning' events run by air command to shape, test and review RAF capability development.
Eagle Warrior tested different platforms and concepts in a wargame-based environment.
MASS facilitated the exercise under its Joint Warfare Support contract, with partner DXC. The company provided a classified local area network (LAN) capability as part of the exercise information management structure.
The LAN was installed, deployed and operated at Cranwell delivering capability throughout the main wargame and also during a wargame planning event carried out earlier in the year.
