Gatekeeper Systems has received a purchase order from Stirling Computers to provide 25 Viperfish SDI-1 high-definition airborne digital video recorders to the US Air Force, it announced on 3 February.
As per the $350,000 contract, Gatekeeper Systems is expected to deliver the video recorders within ninety days of receiving the order.
The video recorder is required to capture 720p or greater resolution over a HD SDI interface from L3 Wescams MX-15Di sensor. Other requirements include carry-on carry-off external storage media; synchronised audio; and compliance with several military standards such as MIL-STD-810G environmental (including explosive atmosphere) and MIL-STD-461F electromagnetic interference/conductance.
Doug Dyment, president and chief executive officer, Gatekeeper, said: ‘Our Viperfish SDI-1 high-definition airborne recorder not only meets military standards such as electromagnetic interference and explosive environment, but it does so by providing a cost effective, high performance and fully compliant platform for multiple defence and home security applications.’
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
