Tech Town lands new military tech company

Dayton —

A new company will land at the city of Dayton’s Tech Town - Intelligent Decisions (ID) Inc., a leader in federal IT solutions, the city of Dayton announced late Friday.

There was no immediate word on the number of jobs that would result from the move, but word on that will be forthcoming soon, said Kerry Taylor, Ohio Aerospace Hub Director.

The city said the company is listed by Inc. 5000 as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the fourth year.

ID will be housed on the second floor in Building 2 of Tech Town in downtown Dayton. ID will work with the companies within the Ohio Aerospace Hub and take advantage of proximity to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, where the firm is already involved in work. The company will take over half of the the second floor of the building.

The newest building in Tech Town, Building 3, remains open for leasing and has yet to secure a tenant for its 61,000 square feet of space.

“Since 1988, Intelligent Decisions has been developing innovative information technology solutions to solve the most challenging requirements of our government clients, and this is the expertise that we will bring to the Ohio Aerospace Hub,” CEO Harry Martin said in a prepared statement. “We plan to align our unparalleled experience, diverse business practice and our team of subject matter experts, to enable clients to reach and surpass their goals and objectives in this environment of reduced budgets and available funding.”

ID said it showcased the company’s revolutionary new “Dismounted Soldier Training System” at the Ohio Aerospace Business Hub at Tech Town.

“This cutting-edge immersive training technology enables U.S. soldiers, leaders and units to train in a virtual environment, increasing the quality of instruction and combat preparedness, and reducing traditional expenses associated with large-scale training facilities,” the city said. ID is rolling out the system to 28 U.S. Army installations worldwide and working with the U.S. Marines and various criminal justice agencies to adapt the technology to training needs.

Clarence Pape, ID’s Vice President of DoD Operations, said earlier Tech Town demonstrations attracted local law enforcement (SWAT Teams), Ohio National Guard and WPAFB personnel

Kerry Taylor said the Aerospace Hub aims to bring companies based in Aerospace, Sensors, RFID and Cyber Security to the Dayton region. The effort is supported by the city, Montgomery County, the Dayton Development Coalition, Citywide Development Corporation and the University of Dayton Research Institute.
