Feb 18 2008 / On February 14th, S3 was awarded the “Army Aviation Materiel Readiness Award for Contribution by a Small Business” for the company’s efforts in support of the U.S. Army in 2007. The citation below was read at AAAA’s 34th Annual Aviation Product Symposium held in Huntsville, AL. “S3, Inc. made significant contributions to the materiel and operational readiness of Army Aviation in 2007. From its worldwide activities fielding the Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) to providing hand-on-training to Army pilots enabling them to become Maintenance Test Pilots, to saving soldiers’ lives, limbs and eyesight through its MEDEVAC operations, S3 has helped the U.S. Army and Army Aviation sustain and improve its materiel and operational readiness. S3’s many activities throughout CONUS, Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan set the standard for what a highly motivated, small, agile, well-led company can do in support of our Nation’s defense. A few examples of S3’s many contributions include conducting maintenance test flights of Army aircraft in Iraq as well as training soldiers in Afghanistan on how to move aircraft by strategic air. S3, with its strong corporate commitment to our nation’s defense and its three-hundred and fifty dedicated professionals, made significant contributions to Army Aviation’s materiel readiness well beyond all proportion to the size of the company. Few companies, large or small, have contributed so much to the material readiness of Army Aviation over such a wide range of endeavors as S3. They are truly deserving of the 2007 AAAA Army Aviation Material Readiness Award for Contribution by a Small Business.” During Jan’s acceptance remarks, she credited the award to the efforts of the entire S3 aviation team, as well as S3 employees working in support of the CMWS and JAMS offices. She said S3 employees do great work because they know it makes a positive difference for our soldiers who are fighting around the world on our behalf.
