Next Wave supports one of Army's Top 10 Inventions of 2008

Next Wave's software development team provided support to NSWC Crane on a project recognized by the U.S. Army as one of its top ten inventions for last year. The Army's description of this achievement is as follows:

"Enhanced Mobile Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment Vehicle; U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center

The Enhanced Mobile Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment Vehicle system combines multiple intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities onto a single, integrated platform. This configuration enables users to rapidly deploy the system anywhere a mission requires additional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Forward operating bases often receive direct and indirect fire on a daily basis and the lack of these capabilities at remote sites place additional risks on Soldiers. The system gives remote operating units the ability to quickly employ the system's combined capabilities to detect imminent attacks and take the appropriate actions to defeat enemy forces."
