Congratulations to Siemens Government Technologies and to General McChrystal. Boy, this last year we have seen a lot of outstanding leaders move on to the private sector and that is great news.
As for this deal, I am not sure what SGT will be focusing in on specifically. Perhaps a representative can come up and fill in a few of those blanks? I noticed on the website that they will be partnering with Boeing for DoD Energy Modernization and I am sure that includes a whole range of technologies to get us more efficient and self reliant. In the video, it talks about energy security and the costs to DoD, and those are very important to the operational capability of today’s military. –Matt
