CCAT Awards Second Contract to RemoteReality WESTBOROUGH, Mass., March 31, 2011 - RemoteReality announced today that it has been awarded a new contract from the Center for Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT). Under this contract RemoteReality will work with the manufacturers of small robot systems to integrate 360° visual situational awareness into their platforms used for Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) applications. The Center for Commercialization of Advanced Technology (CCAT), located in San Diego, CA is a unique partnership of academia, industry, and government working collaboratively to "fast track" enabling technologies addressing priority Department of Defense and homeland defense needs from the research laboratory to the military, 1st Responder, and commercial marketplace. “As more unmanned systems are used in the battlefield environment, user feedback is clearly calling for improved wide area situational awareness”, says Admiral (Ret.) Denny McGinn, the company’s CEO. “Our cameras provide up to 360-degrees of live video coverage, enabling robot operators to be fully aware of their surroundings without having to re-position their robots while performing delicate EOD operations” RemoteReality’s wide area camera systems have been used in a variety of defense and homeland security applications, including on submarine periscopes, surface ships and both manned and unmanned ground vehicles. About RemoteReality Corporation RemoteReality designs ultra wide area camera systems that dramatically improve situational awareness in military and homeland security applications. Our products deliver real-time wide-area visual information to users, improving their awareness and decision making, while reducing system cost and complexity compared to traditional video technologies. Our omni-directional camera technology spans both visual and thermal infrared (LWIR and MWIR) spectra, enabling us to provide solutions with continuous 360-degree coverage during both day and night. For security applications our intelligent object tracking software automates the analysis of the video, issuing alarms and automatically controlling a slaved device (pan-tilt-zoom camera or weapons system) to follow potential threats.
