ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- ERDC Topographic Engineering Center’s (TEC) Vineet Gupta and Richard Tynes have received the Army Research and Development (R&D) Achievement Award’s Outstanding Collaborative R&D Achievement Award for their collaboration with engineers from the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC). They were recognized for developing an automated advanced route planning capability for the Command Post of the Future (CPOF) system, which enhances mission planning capabilities for Soldiers and allows them to share planning content immediately with other CPOF users.
“We used CERDEC’s technical expertise,” Gupta said. “Sometimes labs are hesitant or don’t want to collaborate, but this is a good example that illustrates positives than can come out of this. Together, we were able to extend capability.”
Gupta is the chief of TEC’s Data Representation Branch and served as the deputy project manager, while Tynes, also a member of the branch, served as technical developer on the project.
ERDC and CERDEC members previously joined to develop the Collaborative Battlespace Reasoning and Awareness Army Technology Objective.
Gupta and Tynes also received the 2011 ERDC R&D Achievement Award for their accomplishment.
