Aug 1, 2006 12:00 PM

NATO awarded subcontractors Globecomm Systems and EMS SATCOM a $7.8 million contract to provide a multinational, global positioning satellite-based, friendly force tracking system. The system will combine EMS' eNcompass PDT-100 system with primary contractor Insite Technologies' geoOps AVL software platform, while Globecomm will provide broad system integration capabilities to assist NATO with the monitoring, command and control of deployed forces. The system also is expected to identify friendly versus enemy forces to help prevent fratricide.
