Battelle National Security project manager Dave Barile said: "Battelle and GISi provide a unique combination of geographic information systems expertise, systems and software engineering, and a thorough understanding of aircraft and weapon characteristics, that combine with our military training experience to make our team well-suited to this contract."
Currently used by military training managers, RMTK is a suite of tools and a software application designed to help military personnel conduct rigorous and frequent training exercises.
It enables operators to train for the employment of direct and indirect-fire weapons systems such as machine guns, field artillery and mortars, in addition to dropping bombs or shooting guns, rockets and missiles from aircraft and helicopters.
Barile added: "The RMTK suite of tools supports this critical training, helping to ensure all training is conducted safely without undue risk to military personnel."
