U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) has completed rapid deployment of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Allen’s Modular Detachment Kit (MDK), thanks to the strategic collaboration between the command, the Information Directorate of Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Allen. The close working relationship with AFRL played a pivotal role in enabling the accelerated development and fielding of this leading-edge battlespace awareness and communications system. The project demonstrates the effective partnership between the government and industry, showcasing how teamwork can expedite the delivery of much-needed capabilities to the warfighter.
Through this partnership, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Allen was able to rapidly develop, produce, and deliver specific components of the MDK family of systems, bringing USAFE state-of-the-art capabilities for theater command and control.
Above and beyond the hardware delivery, the close working relationship enabled the team to provide extensive training for operators, maintainers, and staff professionals, ensuring all are fully equipped to maximize the potential of the MDK system in their operational environment. This milestone project is the first of several initiatives to further enhance the mobility, survivability, and lethality of USAFE and its regional partners.Ìý
