Oxnard, California – Saalex Solutions, Inc. announced that it has won an important prime contract to design and produce a Multi-Spectral Ground Truth Monitoring System to be used in testing a new Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) at the U.S. Army Operational Test Command at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.

Saalex will design, build, and produce five of the monitoring systems over the 27-month life of the contract. The units will be constructed in the Test and Evaluation lab at Saalex’s Oxnard facility. A report of the study phase will be completed in early 2006 and the finished systems will be delivered in late 2007.

Early forms of UGS were available as early as the Viet Nam era, once the information came in, only the person receiving them at a console knew what was happening.  Now, you can send the information to a satellite and relay it to a truck driving through the area. You can pull data from different sources to give soldiers a better understanding of what’s happening on the battlefield.

The UGS is part of the architecture of linked and networked systems that are a key component of the Army’s “Future Combat Systems Network,” said Saalex Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Victor Waisley, who described the contract as “a significant entry into a major program.”

“The armed forces are in the process of transitioning their whole m.o. to fit what the world will be like for the next several decades,” said Waisley, “and the Army has transitioned itself away from brute force – sending in 70-ton tanks to slug their way in against an enemy. Instead, they’ve decided to use technology, swiftness and information technology to see the enemy first, react first and defeat him with minimum U.S. casualties.

Saalex, which has worked on Army contracts previously, “is now aligned perfectly with one of the Army’s largest and most innovative programs,” said Saalex President and CEO Travis Mack.
