Army Team Wins DOD Award for Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Project

摘要

Not too long ago, it took hours for deployed medical personnel to transmit digital X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan files in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, it takes minutes, allowing wounded Soldiers to receive more timely medical care. This revolution in medical care is thanks to the Joint Telemedicine Network (JTMN) project, for which the JTMN implementation team was honored with the DOD Chief Information Office (CIO) 2009 Team Award at the Pentagon Oct. 28, 2009.
