We're honored to collaborate with the Navy on revolutionizing their operational software capabilities. Through our work on the Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT) technology, we've empowering the Navy to rapidly deploy new capabilities and improve their tactical systems. ATRT technology, developed through the Navy's Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, has yielded up to 90% productivity improvements across 200 projects. We look forward to implementing the ATRT SBIR commercialization plan which will provide users from across the Navy Enterprise with a capability for automated software certification and edge analytics deployed across all Navy Strike Groups for near real-time performance assessment and recommendations against emerging threats. At IDT, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology to support the Navy's mission. To learn more about ATRT, please visit us at www.IDTUS.com.
