BiTMICRO E-Disk Flash drive chosen by VMETRO

VMETRO, a provider of products for high-speed sensor I/O, data recording, and bus analysis, has selected E-Disk fiber channel solid state disk from BiTMICRO Networks as the storage solution of choice for its solid state digital data recorder (DDR).

Based on a rugged version of the MIDAS data recorder (MDR), VMETRO's DDR is the basis of a new system developed to debug and qualify the Hawkeye target sight system (TSS) currently being tested by Lockheed Martin Missiles for the AH-1Z Cobra helicopter of the U.S. Marine Corps., according to VMETRO.

The TSS is a multisensor EO/IR fire control system designed to provide target detection, recognition, and identification at extremely long ranges during day or night operations and in challenging environments. With E-Disk fiber channel SSD as its mass storage device, DDR has the capability to sustain high-bandwidth data recording in hostile environments, enabling test personnel to correlate what the sensors are seeing with the indicators coming from the weapons system of the AH-1Z.
