U.S. Army Awards $22.3 Million Contract to Motorola for 3-D Air-Ground Battlespace Management
Tuesday December 19 by Staff WriterThe U.S. Army has awarded Motorola Corporation a full rate production contract to continue providing Tactical Air Space Integration Systems (TAIS). Although the initial award is for $22.3 million, if all options and quantities are exercised, the total value is $150 million for 53 TAIS systems over five years.
Motorola has already provided the prototype and the first three production systems. TAIS is the army's first digitized airspace management system to be fielded.
According to Lt. Col. Cory Mahanna, product manager for Air Traffic Control, "TAIS is a giant leap forward. Now the Army has a very valuable and useful digitization tool to aid the commander and his staff in obtaining real time situational awareness of the battlefield airspace. This capability enables more effective and efficient visualization. But most importantly it permits the commander to more safely utilize the airspace."
