Nine Companies Selected to Support Next Generation Command
The US Army has awarded contracts totaling $93.6 million to nine companies to supply applications in support of the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) effort. The applications will enable critical software capabilities for I Corps in the Pacific, the first fielding organization for NGC2, and will perform functions across six warfighting areas. The contracts were awarded for an initial one-year period, and the apps will allow soldiers and commanders to conduct faster and more integrated planning, synchronization, and decision support.
