Remote Perimeter Monitoring System

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) required a state-of-the-art solution for continuous perimeter monitoring of critical facilities such as embassies, consulates and military installations. RemoteReality provides the Marines with continuous, 360 degree real-time viewing and analysis of human-size activity at a range of 300 meters.  The system leverages our proprietary IOVS technology, tracking module and console software to deliver superior day and night vision to a remote location.

Mast-Mounted Camera System

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) required enhanced perimeter security for the Navy’s surface ships.  RemoteReality provides the Navy with a durable, mast-mounted solution for 360 degree surveillance around their ships.  The system integrates our proprietary IOVS technology with slaved, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras to automatically track and analyze activity, providing crew with real-time decision analysis 24/7. Information is delivered to crew both onboard ships and in remote locations using a network server.

OmniSense® Visually Enhanced Tracking System

The OmniSense® Visual Enhanced System is a system of sensors which will detect and track targets over a wide area using multi-spectral sensors (acoustic, seismic, magnetic) in collaboration with infrared imagers. RemoteReality’s contribution to the system was an omni-directional thermal infrared camera that provides location, tracking, and imagery of targets within its 360 degree field-of-view. In building this system RemoteReality developed unique optics for a Long Wave Thermal Infrared (LWIR) imager, providing a full 360 degree field of view. This wide field of view enables automated location, tracking and enhancement of contacts that radiate heat.

Smart High Resolution Omni-Directional Imaging System

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command required omni-directional images for video cameras of 1 megapixel size or greater.  RemoteReality provided 360 degree video surveillance with the ability to simultaneously track and interrogate objects using a slaved pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera for detailed image processing (such as face recognition). The cameras use a variety of LAN or WAN Ethernet and FireWire connections.

Omni Directional Periscope Camera

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) needed to equip submarines with omni-directional imaging with day and night vision. RemoteReality provided NUWC with continuous, 360 degree real-time viewing using both visual light and thermal infrared cameras mounted on periscope masts.  The system provides crew with significantly enhanced situational awareness and navigation from inside the submarine.

Omni-Directional Infrared Imager

DARPA had the objective of increasing the utility of thermal infrared camera for our troops. In response, RemoteReality pioneered the development of the first 360 degree optics for use on uncooled Long Wave Thermal Infrared (LWIR) cameras, creating the core of a wide area intrusion monitoring system.
