Project Info

Our project is to develop a device to measure power transmission as well as verify site weather conditions at an unmanned facility owned by our client. The goal of this is to prevent our client from having to send technicians out to the site in person as the device would handle it without their presence.

More specifically, this device will be measuring the VHF radio output in order to determine if the radio is transmitting properly as well as be measuring the immediate local weather conditions.

The benefits of such a device will provide our customer with the ability to securely view the current weather conditions of a remote location, as well as determine important information about local VHF signals regarding power and channel frequency. Secure access to such information allows for the customer to make important decisions without having to be on site themselves.

Our Client General Dynamics Mission Systems is a technology integrator and original equipment manufacturer who provides various mission critical solutions to civil government, defense, intelligence and cybersecurity customers. These services help those who serve, from soldiers to sailors, to complete their missions safely and efficiently. This project specifically aids the General Dynamics Rescue 21 system, which assists the U.S Coast Guard advanced command with search and rescue operations (SAR)
