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.’
