Highlights from Joint Warfighting 10 

Last month we attended the AFCEA Joint Warfighting Conference in Virginia Beach, VA. The TIDES booth looked great! On our first day we had hundreds of visitors stop by and we got to show off some really cool technologies being used for humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and stabilization and reconstruction.

 

Talking to visitors about the TIDES project at JWC10, VA Beach, VA

During the kickoff address, LTG Michael L. Oates talked about the importance of information sharing and rapid fielding--issues very important to the TIDES project. 

 

 

On the last day of the show, Gen Mattis, Commander, U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM), stopped by to discuss information sharing and equipment for disaster relief. It was a huge honor to have him visit our booth.
