VMETRO to provide data recording for Cobra's Targeting Sight System test
JUNE 15--Lockheed Martin (Bethesda, MD) has selected the VMETRO (Houston, TX, and Oslo, Norway; www.vmetro.com) Modular Data Recorder (MDR) to aid in testing the Hawkeye Target Sight System (TSS) for the "Cobra" attack helicopter update program. The TSS is an advanced electro-optic, infrared sensor system designed to provide target detection, recognition, and identification at extremely long ranges during day or night operations and in challenging environments. VMETRO's MDR was selected to be part of TSS tests primarily because of its rugged construction, ability to sustain high-bandwidth data recording, and ease with which it could be integrated into the system.
