The First InterComm system was judged to be a “top performing technical solution” at the 2006 Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID), which also included scenarios for homeland security and homeland defense.
Warfighter/Operator comments included:
“Cheap, easy to use, and convenient. Brings together multiple agencies in a split second.”
“First InterComm is a very viable tool for all first responders.”
“Push to talk and there you go.”
“First InterComm is very user friendly.”
“First InterComm allows agencies to achieve interoperability while utilizing their existing communications assets.”
“The easiest thing I’ve used during CWID. If you can use a radio, you’re good to go.”
About the 2006 Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration
The Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration is the annual Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff event featuring interoperability trials (ITs) focused on selected core objectives defined by combatant commanders. ITs approved for participation were required to provide a new capability or improve on an existing capability in support of the 2006 objectives.
This year's demonstration tested and evaluated technologies and capabilities for exchanging information among agencies, services, and this year’s host combatant commander, U.S. European Command (USEUCOM).
IT capabilities were examined through a challenging two-part scenario: one part for the Combined Task Force (CTF) and one part for Homeland Security and Homeland Defense. The later part consisted of federal, state and local agencies responding to terrorist attacks and natural disasters within the U.S. Simulated attacks were tied to conventional CTF operations on another continent.
