General Dynamics Wins $111 Million Warfighter Information Network Contract

General Dynamics has won a delivery order valued at approximately $111 million to procure the next lot of Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 2 (Inc 2) network nodes.

This U.S. Army awarded contract is for additional brigade combat teams and division headquarters units. WIN-T Inc 2 is a central component of current and future capability sets.

Continued fielding of the WIN-T Inc 2 network builds on the system's success achieved over the summer when WIN-T Inc 2 was deployed in its first combat patrol in Afghanistan, using its on-the-move capability between several network nodes. 

"WIN-T Inc 2 is the backbone of the Soldier's Network and this order ensures we continue the work of fielding this unprecedented system to soldiers throughout the Army, Reserves and National Guard," said Chris Marzilli, president of General Dynamics C4 Systems. "Without WIN-T Inc 2, soldiers simply do not have the communications capabilities this technology provides. We look forward to working with the Army to complete the production of its on-the-move network."

WIN-T is the Army's mobile battlefield network at the company level and above. It provides mission-critical voice, video and data to soldiers, on-the-move in their vehicles. WIN-T Increment 1 is now fully fielded to 210 active duty, reserve and National Guard units. WIN-T Inc 2 moves with commanders and provides situational awareness and the ability to command from anywhere on the battlefield
