The Army National Guard required the performance of an Commercial Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) upgrade. ISS was contracted to provide all services and equipment for a CIDS upgrade, including testing and commissioning. The project locations were at various national Guard facilities throughout the United States, encompassing all 50 states, and all territories.
Large scale installation project done on a state-by-state basis. With the entire state being done by a crew of two, we needed intense logistical planning/coordination and special training. With the number of states and individual sites within each state, coordination, logistics, and shipping were a large hurdle to overcome. Finding, training, and certifying the appropriate number of technicians to accomplish this large task was a challenge in itself. The technicians needed to be trained and certified to the standards of the Program Office, which included sending them to CIDS schools.
