From the Orlando Sentinel:
“Only a month after it was announced, the Army’s latest multibillion-dollar simulation training deal is becoming a magnet for new companies seeking to join a key Central Florida industry. STOC II – the Simulation and Training Omnibus Contract II – has sent a buzz through the region’s high-tech training community. More than 120 companies nationwide were selected to compete for scores of contracts potentially worth $17.5billion during the next 10 years to modernize the Army’s stock of war-game simulators. Some of the players are already opening new offices in Orlando to boost their chances of winning upcoming bids.”
