Army awards pilot training prototype contract to Cole Engineering Services

Cole Engineering Services said today it will produce an air defense artillery training prototype for the Army, awarded through an other transaction agreement.

The training device, providing real-time orientation and positioning status, will simulate an enemy shoulder-fired missile during live exercises at Army combat training centers.

Cole, based in Orlando, FL, received a $501,900 contract funded by the Army's Training and Readiness Accelerator. After a review of the prototype, the Army will decide whether to develop additional units for further testing or deployment.
