Catalogue details rugged computing
Aitech Defense has released a new 2006-2007 product catalogue detailing the company's extensive line of rugged computing solutions
Doug Patterson, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Aitech, said, 'To be brought in on the ground floor of such a revolutionary development is a great honour for Aitech'.
'We are excited to work with General Dynamics and provide advanced subsystems for the FCS MGV, which is one of the largest and most significant US Army programs in recent years'.
The FCS program is the Army's flagship Simulation Based Acquisition program to be executed in accordance with the Army framework entitled Simulation and Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements, and Training (smart).
Modeling and Simulation is expected to play a crucial role in the early development to achieve product integrity, because it reduces risk and reaches a balance of performance and cost.
Each RICC will be installed in one Remote Interface Unit (RIU) enclosure.
The RIU enclosure will be developed by GDLS.
