HACKENSACK, New Jersey,
March 23, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ and TASE: NSTC), a global
provider of IT services and solutions, today announced a
multi-million dollar contract with a Latin American government, to
install a command and control system in military helicopters and
ground command posts. This is an additional contract following the
contract announced by Ness in June
2009, through which Ness is currently implementing its
NessControl mobile tactical command and control system for the
country's special forces.
The new helicopter borne system will transfer information in a
wide range of missions, including counter-terrorism, search and
rescue, reconnaissance missions.
The system is a comprehensive tactical command and control
system. It comprises an advanced, independent and fully redundant
communication infrastructure which enables the real-time
collection, dissemination and analysis of data among all units
linked to the system. The highly versatile, integrated system
handles a wide range of information, including photographs, maps,
intelligence aids, text and messages, alarms, and GIS data - all in
real time.
"This sophisticated airborne system will provide the customer
with very high operational capabilities, enabling it to meet
complex challenges," said Michael
Zinderman, President, Ness Technologies & Systems Group
(TSG). "The system has a proven track record in field operations
and is a critical element in the command and control of armed
forces, helping the chain of command to successfully perform a wide
range of missions."
The system provides real-time viewing of force positions and
movements, leading to increased coordination among neighboring
forces. During emergency conditions, when every second is critical,
the system enables its users, military and special forces
personnel, to take immediate control of a situation. It rapidly
assesses the distance between the scene and initial responders,
including the length of time it will take them to arrive and the
most expeditious route. With this information, commanders can
quickly create action plans, and make better, more informed
decisions, adapting to the current situation.
