NATO Chooses Radian to Perform Response Force Studies
ST. LOUIS, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Engineered Support Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:EASI) wholly-owned subsidiary Radian, Inc. was chosen by the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Supreme Allied Command- Transformation to
study new concepts and existing technologies for the design, construction, and
maintenance of NATO base camps. The study, valued at $170,000 is expected to
last six months. The base camps would be used by a deployed joint task force
and headquarters of the NATO Response Force.
The base camp study is Radian's second NATO study award in as many months. The
first, a water generation and distribution study, currently remains underway.
Both projects will provide market surveys of existing and emerging
technologies; recommend a system that best suits NATO's needs; and include an
equipment demonstration in an exercise, according to Engineered Support's Vice
Chairman and CEO Gerald A. Potthoff.
"These studies provide NATO a key opportunity to have its transformation
planning process be informed by the expeditionary sustainment expertise of the
entire Engineered Support team," Potthoff said. "We're excited to play such an
important part in this process."
The end result of the base camp study will be a fully deployable camp that will
be adaptable to all different terrains, and usable in weather conditions from
sub-arctic to tropical. Radian's proposed solution for producing, purifying,
and distributing water on-site will provide NATO and coalition forces with an
alternative to the current method of importing and delivering bottled or tanked
water to remote locations. This will result in safer, more cost-effective
operations, as well as reduce the amount of logistical planning and cost
required to execute such endeavors.
The water generation and distribution study and the base camp study are part of
an organization-wide transformation effort to improve NATO's ability to uphold
its global security commitments. NATO's ultimate goal is to support the NATO
Response Force (NRF) with the technology and expertise necessary to meet its
needs in a worldwide expeditionary environment.
