The
VOSS I features commercial off-the-shelf components, high-resolution
color and infrared sensors, night vision and laser rangefinder capabilities
in a 15-inch turret. Working together, the U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin
quickly identified a VOSS I from the U.S. Government’s existing
inventory and completed the installation on Grapple within two weeks.
“To support NATO’s security mission quickly, the U.S. Navy
needed long-range detection and identification capabilities to identify
ships and small water craft,” said Paul Lemmo, vice president
of Fire Control/SOF CLSS at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.
“Because of its proven performance in theater, durability and
universal mount design, VOSS I was the ideal solution to delivering
the U.S. Navy a quick reaction capability.”
VOSS I is designed with solid, weather-tight construction and universal
mounts that allow it to easily move from a ground vehicle to a maritime
vessel. Combat-proven in extreme environments, more than 1,100 VOSS
systems have been deployed with the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, NATO
and law enforcement agencies across multiple platforms. |
