The Army Space and Missile Defense Command gave L-3 Communications [LLL] unit SYColeman an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to develop an advanced intelligent software technology.

It would be used for future Army warfighting elements in a network-centric environment. The contract may be worth $43 million over 5 years.

To provide “space to foxhole” information sharing, SYColeman will engineer solutions for Vertical/horizontal Integration of Space Technologies and Applications (VISTA) intelligent software technology.

\VISTA will demonstrate the capability to distribute integrated space products and services in a seamless network capability, supporting all levels of Army battle command. This initiative will address corps and theater needs as well as the specific needs of individual tactical commanders at Brigade and below.
