CNC Technologies, an aviation technology and wireless communications company serving the law enforcement, military and government markets, announced on March 6 its selection by the Ontario Police Department, California, to deploy an airborne mission suite for the department’s Air Support Unit.
Custom developed to support the Ontario PD’s multi-faceted mission profile, the new solution enables real-time transmission of HD video and data to fixed and mobile receive sites across the Southern California region.
CNC is leading all aspects of the project, which includes design, integration, officer training and ongoing 24/7 service and support. The new system incorporates state-of-the-art image capture, transmission and receive technologies while also providing full interoperability with existing infrastructure and with the technology assets of regional partners.
Additional functionality comes via an augmented reality-equipped moving map system, which enables air crews to overlay critical information such as street names and addresses on top of live video feeds.
“CNC Technologies brings unparalleled expertise developing and supporting robust airborne law enforcement and counterterrorism solutions for major metropolitan operators,” said Sergeant Steve Valvo at the Ontario PD. “We are pleased to partner with them on this new solution, which brings additional performance and capability to our airborne law enforcement and public safety efforts. CNC’s always-on support structure will also help ensure we’re operating the system at maximum efficiency.”
“The Ontario Police Department is crucial to the Southern California law enforcement community, and we are honored to assist them in their public safety mission,” said Ron Magocsi, managing partner at CNC. “The new mission suite’s flexible configuration is designed to provide best-in-class-functionality and user experience along with the ability to easily upgrade the system when new technologies become available.”
CNC Technologies can deploy any level of solution from implementing a real-time microwave downlink capability to building out a nationwide counterterrorism network encompassing aircraft, ground-based receive sites, imaging platforms and encrypted communications systems for sovereign state clients. The CNC Technologies team also has extensive experience supporting Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) projects funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
