J6 Camera System

Figure 1: Topside Surveillance System

The J6 is designed under the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) concept, which allows for multiple camera, sensor/lens combinations on a common pan and tilt platform. This "plug and play" capability allows the operator to have multiple camera/sensor heads available to him to re-configure the pan and tilt in place to meet changing operational conditions or upgrade the system as technology improves. This can be done in 15 minutes or less with standard tools. Figures 1 and 2 show two variants of the J6 system.

Maintainability

 

All Vision Technologies systems, including the J6, are maintenance free, requiring lens cleaning on an as needed basis and normally scheduled shipboard/combat vehicle water wash down cycles. The J6 system does not require any additional field maintenance or servicing.

Commercial-Off-The-Shelf

 

Vision Technologies, through a number of proprietary engineering methods, adapts Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components to meet MIL-STD's for use in our systems. In addition to significantly reducing cost to manufacture, this has the added advantage of multiple supply resources for each component in the system, allowing Vision Technologies to react quickly to changing customer requirements, technology improvements, increased demand, or loss of a vendor supplier resource.

Vision Technologies systems are the most thoroughly tested and proven systems in the market place today. Our experience with the original US Navy Shipboard Protection System program and the current DDG-1000 and Topside Surveillance programs ensure we can deliver to the Shipboard Protection System Program a truly rugged, reliable, and cost effective system.
