OAI transferred key enabling technologies, equipment, and intellectual property rights through an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement.
During the first year of operations OAI successfully completed the build-out of the Commercial Test Facility (CTF) and Commercial Modular Testbed (CMT) for OAI domestic and international customers. In the last year these capabilities have provided OAI customers exceptional and unparalleled services in the areas of simulation, test, analysis and complex mission development with modular architectures.
