Digital Angel Corporation (Amex:DOC), an advanced technology company in the field of rapid and accurate identification, location tracking, and condition monitoring of high-value assets, announced today that its OuterLink subsidiary has won a $3.2 million contract from the South Carolina Army National Guard. The pilot project will demonstrate the capability of OuterLink's satellite-based Automatic Flight Following System (AFFS) to communicate with helicopter and ground vehicle fleets at the McEntire National Guard Base at Eastover, SC. A key component of the program will apply the OuterLink system's secure wireless data communications to demonstrate seamless interoperability with existing communications equipment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other federal or state public safety agencies, said OuterLink President Paul F. Newcomb.
