AeroComputers and BMS Announce integration between UC-5100 Mission Management
System and CARRY-VIEWER™ III
New Technology Enhances Air to Ground Video and Data Transmission For Ultimate
Situational Awareness
Poway, California – Broadcast Microwave Services, Inc. (BMS) and AeroComputers Inc. recently
completed an engineering effort to integrate special mission products which serve the law enforcement,
public safety and government surveillance markets. BMS, a leading manufacturer of wireless microwave
communications systems for use with airborne law enforcement and public safety applications, features
its Geo-Point™ software capability used in BMS handheld receivers. AeroComputers, the leading
manufacturer of onboard aircraft computer systems for airborne law enforcement, features its UC-5100
mission management system and other onboard equipment for live display of location data and mapping.
Geo-Point works with AeroComputers’ UC-5100 mission management system by continually
transmitting aircraft and camera position coordinates to ground-based receivers. The Carry-Viewer™ Plus
receiver from BMS can decode the coordinates and point to the position of the aircraft as well as the
center of the EO/IR camera’s image. This integration reduces aircrew workload and leverages technology
to automatically provide guidance to personnel on the ground.
“The ability for ground crews to have a live, individual display directing them right to the camera target
location saves a lot of time and radio traffic otherwise required to explain to each Deputy where the
target is from their specific position”, said Deputy Chad Davis of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department
(AZ). “The system has proven to save time and reduce confusion for both the aircrew and ground teams.
Both AeroComputers and Broadcast Microwave Systems have offered excellent customer service and
have been very supportive assisting with setup and troubleshooting of their equipment and ensuring that
everything works together properly.”
