COLORADO
SPRINGS, Colo., March 16,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectrus, Inc. (NYSE: VEC) has
been selected by the Department of Defense to complete the final
phases of application development for a 5G Smart Warehouse at Naval
Base Coronado (NBC). The NBC 5G Smart Warehouse Assessment Team
conducted a down select during Phase 1, comparing application
solutions from three companies including Vectrus. This effort is
part of the DoD's $600 million 5G
experimentation and testing initiative, originally awarded in 2020.
Vectrus successfully demonstrated a Converged Environment solution,
addressing NAVSUP operational challenges through the implementation
of advanced technology applications.
Vectrus' solutions focused on increasing efficiency, reducing
costs, improving readiness and cybersecurity, and strengthening
national security. The NBC 5G Smart Warehouse Assessment Team
participated in live demonstrations of technologies at the 5G
Converged Environment Smart Warehouse – Vectrus' 5G smart
technology testbed – just outside of Richmond, Virginia.
The smart warehouse is a realization of Vectrus' Converged
Environment concept, bringing together the support services,
including base operations support, supply chain and logistics, IT
and network operations, engineering and digital integration, and
security, in one synchronized environment.
"The smart warehouse will serve as a test bed for refining,
validating and operationalizing 5G-enabled technologies," said
Corinne Minton-Package, Senior Vice President of Systems and
Technology at Vectrus. "This high-tech warehouse will more
efficiently facilitate the transshipment between shore facilities
and naval units. Our work at Naval Base Coronado will bring next
generation efficiencies to naval logistics operations."
