BBN gets $2.8m to develop warfighter grid

BBN Technologies said it has been awarded $2.8 million in Air Force funding to develop a system that links every warfighter to a global information grid.

Based in Cambridge, BBN Technologies is an advanced technology solutions firm.

BBN said the funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory is to develop a system that will allow all warfighters to access the information they need, when and where they need it, regardless of their connection device and the available bandwidth.
