RUAG Electronics Wins $1.65M Foreign Comparative Test Contract with U.S. Marine Corps!

Alexandria, VA - September 5, 2003 - The Office of the Secretary of Defense/Acquisition, Technology and Logistics approved and funded a U.S. Marine Corps proposal to test and evaluate a recently developed and fielded realistic force-on-force training system for the Swiss Army called “CODARTS.”  The Marine Corps Systems Command/PM Training Systems, Orlando, Florida, awarded a $1.65M contract in September 2003 to RUAG Electronics, Bern, Switzerland, to evaluate this RUAG developed system at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in October 2004.  If the evaluation is successful, the contract contains another $12M in production options to field four company size training systems as a mobile “Deployable Instrumentation (DI) for Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Training.”  There are further possibilities to expand the capability of this unique training system for Naval Ship-to-Shore gun fire training in concert with Marine amphibious operations, as a substitution for the closing of the Navy’s live fire training range at Vieques, Puerto Rico last year.

GMD Solutions, Inc., has served as the U.S. Representative for RUAG Electronics for the past three years and developed the marketing approach that resulted in the award of this contract with the U.S. Marine Corps.  During the same time period, GMD Solutions was instrumental in obtaining another contract from the U.S. Army Material Command (TACOM-Picatinny Arsenal) for RUAG Electronics to develop the concept for a realistic training system for the Army’s next generation individual soldier weapon, the XM-29, which features 25mm air burst rounds.
