SAN DIEGO, CA, - ORINCON Corporation International announced
today that its ORINCON Defense unit comprised of Zel Technologies, LLC (ZelTech),
General Dynamics Decision Systems, Titan Systems, Harris Corp, Raytheon, and
Lockheed Martin have been selected by the US Air Force Research Laboratory
as the prime contractor and system architect and integrator for a new technology
that will provide the tools and techniques to reliably and rapidly find, target,
and destroy concealed and open enemy battlefield targets.
"We're denying the enemy sanctuary to hide,"
said Eileen Geier, ORINCON Defense's TUT Capture Manager. "It means increasing
the effectiveness of our armed forces as they eliminate threats with greater
confidence, more precision and speed, and all using less ordnance."
The $9.5 million three-year contract will be called the
Target Under Trees (TUT) Intelligence Fusion System. The architecture, designed
and implemented by the ORINCON team of experts in data fusion architectures
and integration, will provide greatly enhanced situational awareness for the
battlefield commander.
The TUT win is another milestone in the company's growth
as it continues to serve the armed forces with innovative technologies that
solve complex defense challenges, home and abroad. ORINCON's Sygenex unit
recently announced a contract win with the intelligence community for Wisdom™,
a capability that supports the homeland defense initiative.
"This is a new and strategically important role for
ORINCON as a prime systems contractor," said Arthur P. Garner III, President
and COO of ORINCON Corporation International. "ORINCON's unique and open
approach to TUT demonstrates our commitment to advancing core technology-based
initiatives to achieve greater national security."
The TUT solution rapidly gathers and correlates target
information from a wide variety of sensor devices and radars and then clarifies
for the operator the precise target being seen - and whether it is civilian
(e.g., a school bus) or military (e.g., a tank). TUT also helps determine
if the target has already been identified or whether it is new to the battlefield.
Most importantly, the system enables operators to detect enemy threats in
concealment under trees or behind buildings. TUT highly automates and simplifies
a process that usually requires manually going through disparate sources of
data, thereby cutting the decision timeline from days to hours.
Work on TUT will be performed in team facilities located
in California, Virginia, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Massachusetts.
