Be, this Dialogue with Industry helps me to backfill some history on the BIBs development. Although, I can't say that this exact presentation was in front of Glenn directly, it's reassuring to know that our current management is capable of taking a missive like this and develop a top end solution in a rather timely fashion. I found the Challenge Statement to be an honest assessment of where the army stood in regards to it's adversaries' capabilities. The knowledge that was gained through the new type of warfare in the middle east has given our men and women new challenges and new resolve to stay one or two steps ahead of our enemy. I, for one, am really proud to see how WSGI is fitting in with the new leading edge battlefield communications and surveillance. I appreciate Bear posting this.
Note that "the squad is the centerpiece and foundation of the Decisive Force." IMO, I don't believe we will sell a unit per squad, but the tactical use of the WASP/BIB is certainly utilized at the squad and platoon level. I believe training is being done at the platoon level, IMO. Again, I doubt they need one for every platoon, but you get the idea.
Best,
