Engineering & Computer Simulations, Inc. (ECS) hosted a celebration at the Celeste Hotel to mark the award of a major contract through the ECS-Riptide Joint Venture on January 8.
The $127 million, six-year contract (including a base year plus five option years) positions ECS to lead the development and modernization of the U.S. Army’s One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) simulation program.
“We are proud of our team and partners for advancing OneSAF and delivering critical simulation capabilities,” said Waymon Armstrong, chief executive officer of ECS. “This achievement highlights our ongoing commitment to innovation and next-generation military simulation technology.”
The event highlighted ECS’s commitment to advancing next-generation military simulation technology and acknowledged the dedication of the staff and collaborators who contribute to the success of critical defense programs.
The celebration brought together ECS leadership, project teams and partners to recognize this significant achievement and the collective efforts that made it possible.
“It’s been a long time coming,” said Trevor Estes, executive vice president and general manager of Engineering Services for Phoenix Defense, LLC. “We couldn’t be more pleased to continue our work on OneSAF with ECS under our joint development effort, delivering critical capabilities for the warfighter.”
OneSAF serves as the backbone of U.S. Army simulation capabilities, providing a unified, computer-generated force system that supports training, operational analysis, and mission planning across all Army modeling and simulation communities as well as other government agencies worldwide.
“This contract is a testament to the hard work and expertise of our staff,” said Gregory Kane, chief operating officer of ECS. “We look forward to continuing to enhance the OneSAF program and provide solutions that drive efficiency and effectiveness across Army simulation communities.”
By consolidating multiple legacy tools into a single, comprehensive platform, OneSAF eliminates redundancies, improves efficiency, and ensures that Army leaders and personnel have access to realistic, data-driven simulation environments.
