continuous MSI track picture was particularly exceptional.”

Dr. Mark Luettgen, Manager of BAE Systems AIT Fusion Technology
and Systems Division. “Our selection by NAVAIR is a reflection
both of the hard work of our MSI project team and our continuing
efforts to develop the All-Source Tracking and Identity Fusion
software that formed the basis of our MSI approach. We deeply
appreciate NAVAIR's confidence in us and are looking forward to
working with them to bring this important capability to the fleet.”
