"As full-rate production begins, our engineering teams will continue working closely with the Army to upgrade technology and human-factors design, giving soldiers a decisive information advantage wherever they are called to serve," said General Dynamics Mission Systems president Chris Marzilli.
"Now we can focus on making further improvements to the system and fielding Increment 2 to the rest of the Army," said former WIN-T PM COL Ed Swanson in an earlier interview, explaining the importance of full-rate production. (Read the full interview here.)
