RemoteReality Joins EDGE® Innovation Network 

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. – April 5, 2010 -  RemoteReality Corporation announced today it has joined the EDGE® Innovation Network, a collaborative, open-environment initiative enabling industry and academia, with government input, to work together to deliver new technologies and innovative capabilities to warfighters and first responders faster.  

“RemoteReality is excited to be joining the EDGE network,” said V-ADM Denny McGinn (Ret.), CEO. “Our innovative wide-area video technology and 360-degree situational awareness systems will help deliver enhanced visualization on combat vehicles integrated at the EDGE.”

Sponsored by General Dynamics C4 Systems, the EDGE Innovation Network bridges the gaps that occur between research and development work done in EDGE-member laboratories and the production of military and government systems. EDGE members fill these gaps by rapidly developing prototypes of new capabilities or improved subsystem components for customer evaluation and ultimately, insertion into military or government programs of record. 

The EDGE has already delivered several innovations including a Soldier Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Receiver, or SIR, to the U.S. Army.  About the size of a Blackberry®, the SIR device delivers real-time streaming video from multiple manned or unmanned assets into the hands of the soldier on the ground.  

Pete Palmer, EDGE Innovation Network director said, “By aligning technologies and innovations from EDGE members like RemoteReality with requests and feedback from warfighters, first responders, and other programs, we can deliver new and relevant capabilities to users faster than typical acquisition cycles currently allow.”   There are currently five EDGE Innovation Centers worldwide and over 110 EDGE members. Recent additions to the EDGE include Motorola Federal Markets Division, Columbia, Md.; iRobot Corporation, Bedford, Md.; EMC Corporation, Marlborough, Mass.;  and Zephyr Technology, Annapolis, Md.
