The soldier pauses, leans against his vehicle, squinting against the Afghan sun. He feels tremendous pressure as he scans the horizon, repeating his search pattern to identify possible hazards. He knows the statistics: Since the U.S. sent troops to Afghanistan in 2001, more than 2,000 service members have died, and 60 percent of those deaths are attributed to improvised explosive devices (IED).
The Soldier takes a deep breath and relies on his training to get him through this deployment. The training he receives is constantly updated with information about the latest threats—thanks to Booz Allen scientists, engineers, systems developers, digital solutions experts, and many others who offer forward-leaning solutions that give the defense and intelligence community a technical edge.
Here’s a look at just a few of the advanced solutions we offer:
“The purpose of this program is to provide critical intelligence to warfighters in theater,” says David Roberts, solutions architect. “The system provides images and information on electronic signals in the field, and it helps them better plan operations and protect their position.” And we’re doing it faster—designing, building, testing, and deploying technology that would typically take 3 to 5 years in as little as 18 months.
The advanced technology solutions we provide are just one way that Booz Allen is pushing the envelope and evolving the way we offer client solutions to the defense and intelligence community. Check out a related story to learn more about our training solutions to the warfighter.
