COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Vectrus Systems Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE: VEC), announced today that it was awarded a
prime contract for the Naval Base Coronado 5G Smart Warehouse
to provide industry-leading inventory management, network security,
robotic material moving, and environmental sensing
capabilities.
The objective of the Naval Base Coronado 5G Smart Warehouse
project is to develop a 5G-enabled Smart Warehouse focused on
transshipment between shore facilities and naval units, to increase
the efficiency and fidelity of naval logistic operations, including
identification, recording, organization, storage, retrieval, and
transportation of materiel and supplies. Additionally, the project
will create a proving ground for testing, refining, and validating
emerging 5G-enabled technologies.
"We are excited to support the Navy's groundbreaking smart
warehouse prototype in a competitive arena focused on technological
solutions that are now being applied within traditional facility
and base operations and IT services," said Corinne Minton-Package,
Senior Vice President of Operational Technology and Enterprise
Vectrus. "This is an opportunity to lend our technological
expertise in support of the clients' migration towards the
converged infrastructure market and move away from traditional
ways of operating their facilities, supply chains, and
networks."
Vectrus' support at Naval Base Coronado is part of the DoD's
$600 million project for 5G
experimentation and testing at five U.S. military test sites,
representing the largest full-scale 5G tests for dual-use
applications in the world. Each installation will partner with
military Services, industry leaders, and academic experts to
advance the Department's 5G capabilities.
