US Army selects companies for GSE tech development
The US Army has awarded three companies competitive technology development contracts for its emerging Ground Soldier Ensemble (GSE) situational awareness system, it was announced .
General Dynamics C4 Systems, Raytheon and Rockwell Collins were each awarded contracts to build 10 prototypes for the GSE programme’s technology development phase.
The soldier-worn GSE is intended to fill a gap between mounted elements with ‘blue force’ tracking equipment and the dismounted soldier teams that depend only on voice communications to obtain battle command information.
After the systems are delivered, the contracts could each total about USD12 million and all three awards include an option to support a potential US Marine Corps requirement of five “GSE refined systems”.
