DCS Corporation was awarded a U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Ground Vehicle Simulation Lab (GVSL) contract valued at $70.7M.
Under this 5-year contract, DCS will continue to provide technical services to the U.S. Army (DEVCOM) GVSC Immersive Simulation Directorate (GVSC-IS) in Warren, Michigan. GVSC-IS is home to a world-class facility that develops and applies physics-based simulations, simulators, crew station design, and virtual simulation in support of Army ground combat vehicle technology research, development, and maturation. Under this contract, DCS will provide technical services for: Immersive Ground Vehicle Simulation development, integration, and execution; Ride Motion Simulation and Crew Station/Turret Motion Based Simulation; crew station development and integration; and conduct and evaluation of Virtual Experimentation. The technology developed will advance the Army's ability to evaluate concept and existing vehicle systems mobility, durability, and operations on the move.
"For more than 20 years, DCS has supported GVSC-IS and U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command in conducting motion-based and large-scale experiments at the world-class GVSL modeling and simulation facilities," says Bill Protzman, DCS President and COO. "We're excited to continue supporting GVSC-IS and the Warfighter."
DCS has been a trusted partner of the U.S. Army GVSC and its predecessor organizations for more than 35 years. DCS employee-owners work alongside Government counterparts to further the research, development, acquisition, integration, testing, fielding, and post-fielding operations of manned and unmanned ground vehicles. These Government-contractor teams develop and deliver innovative solutions to support the mission of the Army.
