AeroVironment Secures $97M Army Contract for Advanced Missile Defense

0:00From Birmingham, this is your March 8th update. Arrow Vierment, a Virginia company, just secured a $97,400,000 contract from the U.S. Army. They will soon test advanced missile defense systems and electro-optical infrared sensors at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The deal falls under the Army's aviation and missile technology consortium. Arrow Vierment will design and build prototype testing setups, including flight motion tables and crowd-genic space chambers. The whole effort is named Gene Esis, short for a generative environment for the next era of spectral imaging stimulators. Company executives are excited about the partnership. They say a speed-up defense innovation by creating realistic testing setups that help refine tech before it hits the field. This teamwork between industry and government aims to give soldiers a real edge. Gene Esis marks a big step forward in hardware and the loop testing. It uses multi-spectral projections, high-speed imaging, and smart controls to simulate tough
