With operations now spanning a growing number of timezones and countries, Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) is utilizing I/ITSEC 2025 to spotlight its expanding international training and sustainment capabilities around the world.
In an interview with Show Daily, Greg Kane, Chief Operating Officer of ECS, and Andrea Rodriguez, the company’s International Services and Compliance Manager, shared how ECS is meeting the increasing demand for global support, training and logistics integration.
ECS is a dual-purpose company—half of its work centers on software development and immersive simulation technologies, while the other half focuses on training services, logistics and sustainment. “We have instructors, contract logistics support and maintenance for training devices overseas,” said Kane. “We also provide staff augmentation to Army North for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) exercise support, as well as course development for the Defense Logistics Agency.”
With operations in multiple countries, ECS recently took steps to bring more of its overseas life-support operations in-house. Rodriguez’s addition to the team has been key to that transition. “Previously, we had to use third-party vendors for housing, visas, vehicles and host-nation compliance,” Kane explained. “Now, with Andrea’s expertise, we sponsor and coordinate those services directly. That gives us greater control, cost efficiency and compliance.”
He continued, “For a small business, managing overseas operations comes with risk,” Kane noted. “We need to ensure compliance with international arms regulations and labor laws. But bringing these services internal allows us to expand responsibly and support our teams wherever they are.”
Rodriguez added that the company’s growth aligns with rising global interest in US defense technologies and training. “Foreign militaries are investing heavily in US systems and simulation tools,” she said. “We’re seeing that interest firsthand through foreign military sales programs and international collaborations. It’s an exciting time to be building these partnerships.”
At their I/ITSEC booth, attendees will see both ECS’s legacy and new technologies. The company is the original equipment manufacturer for the Army’s Tactical Combat Casualty Care simulator—an interactive tool that trains medics to treat battlefield injuries. ECS is also the prime contractor on the One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) program, a six-year, $127 million effort supporting the Army’s constructive training systems. Additionally, ECS continues to develop CH-47 Chinook maintenance trainers for both US and allied militaries, including Germany and South Korea.
Beyond the technology, Kane emphasized ECS’s reputation for reliability and integrity. “If we say we’ll get it done, we get it done,” he said. “That’s why our customers trust us. We solve problems, deliver on time and do it with honesty.”
