Business Wire
Crane Wireless Monitoring Solutions (WMS) announced today that they
have received their first order from DRS C3 Systems, Inc., a
division of DRS Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: DRS), to supply their
MicroObserver� Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system as part of a
comprehensive border security solution. The MicroObserver UGS
solution features a wirelessly networked communication system
designed for non-line-of-sight conditions, giving it the ability to
monitor non-contiguous sensor areas for both force protection and
border security applications. The combination of advanced
communications, a long mission life and an easy-to-use installation
make the MicroObserver system well suited for covert deployments in
rugged conditions. With an integrated tracker specifically designed
to minimize false alarms, the MicroObserver sensor network detects,
classifies and tracks personnel and vehicles, providing advanced
threat tracking capabilities to the DRS Distant Sentry surveillance
system. �We are very excited about this opportunity,� said Charlie
Stuewe, Vice President and General Manager for Crane WMS. �The
advanced features of the MicroObserver system offer flexibility for
deployment in a variety of terrains, seamlessly integrating with
existing surveillance systems like those of DRS.� DRS system tests
held in May at the Yuma Proving Grounds demonstrated the successful
integration of the MicroObserver system with the DRS�s Distant
Sentry system, providing detection and tracking of intruders when
they entered radar tracking blind spots. �The MicroObserver system
provides a capability that is easily adaptable and simple to use,
as proven in our testing at Yuma,� said Mr. Stuewe. �With our
MicroObserver system, we are providing DRS with an added layer of
protection to their situational awareness solution for customers
who need persistent surveillance.� About Crane Wireless Monitoring
