Skyquest win multiple UK Police
airborne mission equipment contract.
Skyquest Aviation, the
UK based supplier of specialist aircraft mission equipment,
has just been awarded multiple contracts to supply
airborne mission equipment to several UK Police forces
for both new aircraft and retrofit to existing aircraft.
Skyquest provide industry leading
video distribution, display and recording technology
for airborne surveilance markets and have developed
a number of High Definition (HD) compatible displays
for use with the new generation of High Definition
digital FLIR cameras.
Each of the new contracts include
Skyquest's unique VMS system that enables every display
in the aircraft to view any source of image including
multiple sources simultaneously. Each display can also
operate 2 video recorders and process ANPR (automatic
number plate recognition) computers. Any source of
image can be directed to the video recorders or microwave
link through an intelligent matrix system controlled
via the touch screen NVG displays.
Skyquest claim that a third of all
UK police helicopters have opted to fit their VMS system
since its launch only 6 months ago.
