KWESST today announced that Headquarters Marine Corps Aviation has provided sponsorship of KWESST to integrate its TASCS capability into the ATAK Battlefield Management Application installed on the MAGTAB Android tablet being deployed throughout the United States Marine Corps.
Jeff MacLeod, Founder, President and CEO of KWESST, commented that “This important milestone will be completed over the summer of 2020 and will facilitate the adoption of KWESST’s TASCS system by a wide range of military and homeland security users in the U.S. and internationally. We therefore view this as strong validation of the potential for TASCS to be a key enabler of networked defence and security personnel and their operational assets.”
