Innovation is the hallmark
of Wescam’s success, and we have a worldwide
reputation for developing visual information systems
that deliver unprecedented imagery in the most unique
conditions.
Space
Operating with uninterrupted reliability
in the harsh conditions of space, Wescam visual information
systems are providing stunning real-time images from
International Space Station Alpha. Camera and transmission
systems built into the astronauts’ helmets
provide critical visual information that permits
NASA engineers to provide ground support to the astronauts
during extra-vehicular activities by monitoring their
progress in real time. For the first time, the world
is able to view the space station as astronauts work
on its construction. These breathtaking images are
captured by cameras no bigger than a tube of lipstick,
and perform under the harsh environmental conditions
in space.
Sports
Wescam
innovation has brought the world unique point-of-view
coverage of major sporting events including summer
and winter Olympic Games, professional autoracing,
cycling, gymnastics, swimming, football, golf and
downhill skiing. Using stabilized cameras mounted
to tracks, cables, aircraft and ground vehicles,
as well as our proprietary on-board cameras at NASCAR® and
America’s Cup yachting events, our systems
provide stunning imagery from unique points of view.
Other specialized sports applications include the
NetCams used in television coverage of professional
hockey, and helmet cameras used in baseball and football.
System Integration
In
addition to innovative product development, Wescam
also leads many multi-million dollar programs, providing
a complete communications network and integrating
the best technology into a system solution. Wescam
is one of the few system providers in the world that
offers integrated solutions including sensor turrets,
digital and analog wireless communication equipment,
and control systems. Integration allows the visual
images from our sensors to be used with voice and
data communications and existing avionics to provide
a comprehensive visual information system. Wescam
can develop a system solution configured for most
any application.
