Orlando (ACC-ORL) selected Ravenswood Solutions for the production of two brigade-sized FlexTrain instrumentation systems and a five-year license to use Ravenswood's associated ORION software. The sole source contract is valued at $39.9 million.

FlexTrain is a Global Positioning System (GPS)-based instrumentation system that tracks vehicles, units, and individual participants during training exercises or testing events. Ravenswood will provide the Army National Guard with additional individual trackers for personnel and vehicles, along with the network hardware required to operate the system in areas as large as 80 x 80 kilometers.
