PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Sarnoff Corp. will provide its TerraSight Ground Stations for use in the U.S. Navy's Persistent Ground Surveillance System.
The New Jersey company said the order came through a subcontract from Neany Inc., which had been issued a prime contract from the Naval Air Systems Command to provide the stations for use with the surveillance system.
The stations will run Sarnoff's TerraSight video exploitation software.
PGSS is a rapidly fielded system that includes a sensor-equipped, helium-filled aerostat platform. The system increases intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities and provides a more complete surveillance picture through inclusion of information from new sensor systems.
Sarnoff said TerraSight is a field-proven, advanced C4ISR-enabling solution that provides the theater with a common operating picture that fuses multiple real-time video and data feeds from a variety of sensors that are overlaid onto a 3-D terrain map in real time.
"U.S. Central Command has stated an urgent need to protect forward operating bases," said Mark Clifton, Sarnoff's acting president and chief executive officer. "The TerraSight Ground Station will help PGSS quickly and cost-effectively get into the field and provide full situational understanding where it's needed most."
