Additional order from Northrop Grumman ALMDS program

VMETRO Inc. has received a follow-on order from Northrop Grumman for the ALMDS program. This order includes 3 liquid cooled CEC units and is valued at approximately US $900K. The CEC units process image sensor data in a liquid cooled chassis incorporating several VPF1 processor cards and the CSW1 zero latency switch card. Delivery of systems will occur in 2008.

ALMDS is a vital program that is integral to the transformation of the US military. The system is deployed on helicopters to allow the US Navy to detect sea mines at or near the water’s surface. Using an airborne light detection and ranging blue-green laser, the ALMDS system covers a large area of the ocean detecting, localizing and classifying mines. This system allows the military to expedite mine hunting and reconnaissance. More than fifty helicopter platforms are expected to be outfitted with the ALMDS technology.
