​The U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) put TRX’s Dismount Electronic Warfare (EW) Kit to the test during a Tactical Electronic Warfare Kit Capstone Event held at Fort Stewart in Georgia earlier this May.

Traditionally, navigational warfare (NAVWAR) is orchestrated from Tactical Operations Centers (TOCs) and overwatch positions located on the periphery of a conflict zone. The TRX EW Kit, for the first time, puts advanced electronic warfighting tools into the hands of dismounted soldiers, enabling them to detect, map, and mitigate NAVWAR attacks in real-time, directly from their positions on the battlefield.

TRX Systems will demonstrate its GPS-denied technologies developed for warfighters and first responders at the Tech-Palooza event on Tuesday, November 17th at the Emerging Technology Institute (ETI) in Red Springs, North Carolina. TRX joins leading technology companies Microsoft, IBM, Panasonic, Syncopated Engineering, and others demonstrating a broad range of technologies including Internet of Things, AI & Autonomy, Wearables, and Tag/Track/Locate Solutions. TRX will demonstrate its GPS-denied dismount personnel location, signal and sensor mapping and NEON Micro-Tracer, its newest solution for COVID-19 contact tracing and alerting. ​

​Location data is paramount for the safety and situational awareness of our warfighters – to support this need  at the U.S. Air Force’s Tech Warrior OPS event last October, TRX showcased the unique capability of the NEON GPS-Denied Location Solution to seamlessly track personnel in environments where GPS doesn’t work. Hosted by the Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, TRX demonstrated the NEON solution’s ability to meet location and performance accuracy requirements in varying environments using a combination of body-worn sensors and ultra-wideband ranging technology. The system was demonstrated to seamlessly track personnel from outdoors where they might have GPS available into buildings and underground areas that are GPS-denied.  

​TRX Systems was awarded the $250,000 Grand Prize at the U.S. Army’s third Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch 3) competition. TRX Systems was selected as the xTechSearch 3 Grand Prize winner by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)) at the virtual xTech Summit held Sept. 9-11, 2020.
