HACKENSACK, New Jersey,
February 14, 2011
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTC and
TASE: NSTC), a global provider of IT services and solutions,
announced today that its defense and homeland security business
unit has signed an approximately $16
million contract to provide a training and simulation system
to a foreign country's national command and control center. The
solution will be based on Ness' sophisticated Integrated Command
and Control System (ICCS), which Ness implemented for the
purchasing country beginning in May
2008, and a simulation product.
The national command and control center provides the ministry of
defense and the defense forces of the country with a real-time
integrated situation and operational picture for optimal decision
making and operational planning, both in peacetime and in crisis.
The new trainer will be used to train high-ranking and upper
echelon officers of the center, using real-world scenarios to guide
the officers through situations they may encounter.
"Following the very successful implementation and deployment of
its national command and control center, the foreign country's
ministry of defense is beginning a strong proactive training
process, utilizing the training and simulation system," said
Michael Zinderman, President, Ness
Technologies and Systems Group (Ness TSG). "Our dedicated ICCS
trainer and simulation system significantly enhances the
performance and decision making process of officers in real life
situations."
ICCS is a comprehensive command and control system that
integrates and fuses situation pictures from different military
branches (ground forces, air force, navy, etc.), intelligence
services, logistics organizations, etc. The system provides the
connectivity capabilities to automatically share operational
information among the various units and agencies.
ICCS improves operational planning by gathering, filtering and
fusing data, as well as using decision support tools for optimal
operational planning. The system enables fast and accurate
dissemination of mission orders, reports and data, as well as
reception of status and location reports of the forces through
secured communication networks in real time. It also monitors
execution of mission orders issued by the HQ to the various
units.
