Army Awards $93.6M in Contracts for NGC2 Software Applications
What happened

General Dynamics Mission Systems is one of the companies receiving these contracts. Additionally, the Army entered a licensing agreement with RAFT for Pacific operations.

Why it matters
The contracts provide core software applications designed to allow commanders and soldiers to conduct faster planning, synchronization, and integrated decision support. This effort is a critical next step for the Army as it scales the NGC2 technology to the corps level, specifically for I Corps in the Pacific.
