EMW wins NATO Command And Operating Space Management (COpM) Tools Contract

Herndon, Virginia —  EMW, Inc. of Herndon, Virginia USA has been awarded a new NATO Contract by the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) in Brussels, Belgium, for Provision Of System Upgrades For ISAF Command And Operating Space Management (COpM) Tools in support of NATO forces currently conducting the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan.

The expansion of the ISAF Area of Operations and the ISAF support to stability and security operations, including decisive, proactive military ground and air maneuver designed to dominate the battle space in co-ordination with, or in support of, the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), will greatly increase the complexity of these operations. It will be vital to establish and maintain an exchange of tracked data between ISAF and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) to create a mutually coordinated Command and Operating Space Management environment. The Coalition Forces COpM toolsets, based on C2PC (Command and Control for Personal Computer) software, will be deployed as an interim solution until a new NATO system is implemented at some future point.

EMW will procure, configure and install C2PC Gateway Servers to support the distribution of COpM across the ISAF Area of Operations (AO). Those servers will operate on the ISAF Secure network already deployed and the COpM will be displayed on the users workstations currently fielded. Part of the contract tasking for EMW is to evaluate the several hundred current workstations and provide any required upgrades or replacements to ensure the COpM data is displayed properly on them.

The work on this contract will be conducted by EMW in Herndon, Virginia USA, at its Belgian Subsidiary, EMW BVBA in Brussels, and at various locations in the ISAF AO.
