As the owner of a Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), we are putting together several overseas projects that support emergency services command and control (C2), communications systems and infrastructure, defense and military, oil and energy, maritime, and logistical facilities. We are backed by a few large companies who support us financially as we continue to grow. We are currently expanding into Central America, South America, and Africa. Please visit our website for more information as we continue to build new long lasting relationships around the world. As the primary program developer I am hosting prime contract negotiations and proposals on three continents.I also host marketing and trade panels for new markets in developing and hostile regions.Developing a R&D project for an integrated surveillance system. This prototype will support a niche' market for small remote sites. Contact me for more information.We also have a small team of Field Service Representatives (FSRs) with decades of experience and knowledge installing a variety of sensors and communications systems in extremely austere environments.
