AMTI developed the DVSS in direct response to communications and damage control problems discovered in an investigation following the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in 2000.
DVSS features CoVi's SCAN platform and edge devices to intelligently transport and record images in high definition. Industry leading video analytics from ObjectVideo OnBoard are embedded in the CoVi cameras to provide proactive, real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure while minimizing bandwidth consumption on shipboard networks. These intelligent cameras provide around-the-clock monitoring, allowing for security and safety personnel to be alerted in real time whenever a potential crisis occurs in any of the ship's critical locations. AMTI's DVSS is contracted under the Navy's DDG (destroyer class) Modernization Program and will first be used in the DDG 51 Arleigh Burke Class of destroyers.
"On top of its situational awareness capabilities, DVSS will also help mitigate the problem of long-term ship obsolescence," says Matt Winans, the DVSS program engineer at AMTI's Southern Pines location. "Not only is the system highly intelligent, it offers plug-and-play ease of installation, operation and maintenance."
