Aerospace Imaging 

Raytheon, Lockheed, and Boeing use Boulder Imaging's imaging technologies across a wide array of applications.

 
One example is Boeing’s C-130 flight simulators. The simulators are designed to simultaneously record multiple high definition video streams from training sessions on a single recording device with playback on demand. The solution is directly integrated into their existing flight simulator systems thus making it transparent and extremely user friendly to operate.

In a totally different use of vision technologies, Boeing is using multiple high speed, high definition cameras recording UAV and other flying objects to study performance and other characteristics. Using Boulder Imaging's Quazar High Performance Digital Video Recorders, Boeing has been able to provide various teams (engineers, project and program managers, military professionals, and decision makers) with completely time correlated, uncompressed video data for scientifically accurate analysis. 

Lockheed Martin Corporation has also been at the forefront of using vision technologies in the area of product research and development. One of their vision projects utilizes a Quazar recording and data simulation solution from Boulder Imaging for weapon systems performance analysis for US Navy ships.

Another example from Lockheed is the development of a highly sensitive infrared sensor. The voluminous data acquired from the sensor has to be fed to a recording solution that can handle the fast shutter speed and data throughput rate. Meeting that demand posed many engineering challenges that were successfully addressed by our Quazar recording platform in a comprehensive and timely fashion.

Raytheon also uses imaging for product development, R&D, systems testing, etc. Two applications built on Boulder Imaging's Quazar recording platform are one developed to record and analyze the performance of the Phalanx ship defense system and another for the advancement of the MANTIS night vision program.  The technological challenges (space, size, portability, integration, and functionality) from these extremely different programs reveal the demands for flexibility in Quazar recording and image analysis systems.
 

The Commonality 

The commonality among all three companies is that when it comes to the most demanding imaging solutions each has turned to Boulder Imaging and its Quazar High Performance Digital Video Recording (HPDVR)™ solutions. Boulder Imaging’s experience in providing state-of-the-art recording and image analysis solutions to the defense/security/aerospace industry dates back over 17 years. We are now the preeminent provider of high speed/high performance digital video recording systems for military, security, defense, and aerospace applications. We take great pride in our open and agnostic architectural design – which we call Flex Architecture. It allows us to continually support legacy and current video standards as well as leverage advances in hardware performance. Flex Architecture also allows us to scale our systems and to rapidly develop specialized solutions for any application.

Boulder Imaging meets and exceeds the most demanding specifications, removing all of the complexity of high performance imaging systems for our customers.
