The system has already completed initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E) during the army’s Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) 12.2 exercise at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in May-June 2012, providing the company with an opportunity to continue enhancing its overall performance and effectiveness.

WIN-T Increment 2 production is conducted at the company’s facility in Taunton, Massachusetts, and preliminary deployment as key component of Capability Set 13 already started at Fort Drum in New York and Fort Polk in Louisiana, US, with training of two brigades from 10th Mountain Division using previous systems.

Available in three increments, WIN-T is the army’s mobile battlefield network system providing soldiers with mission critical voice, video and data to improve battlefield awareness.
