SEAKR Wins Naval EO Deal
Englewood, Co - July 7, 1998 - SEAKR has received notification of
selection by the Space Technology Development Corporation (STDC,
Alexandria, VA.) and its principal government partner, the Naval Research
Laboratory (NRL), (Washington, D.C.), to provide a 56 Gbit Solid State
Recorder for use on the Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO) Program. NEMO, a
space based system for collecting broad-area Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI)
for Naval Forces and Commercial Users, meets unique Naval requirements for imaging the littoral regions of the world. NEMO is also capable of meeting commercial requirements supporting such applications as Land Use
Management, Agriculture, Environmental Studies, Mineral and Petroleum
Exploration.The Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO) Program, the first of its kind, is a cooperative industry and government program. The Project is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) under the Joint Dual Use Application Program (JDUAP). This approach allows both industry and government to share development cost, while leveraging system utility. SEAKR's Solid State Data Recorder will be utilized as part of the Single High Data Rate X-Band Downlink System supporting near real-time data transmission of acquired imagery. Paul Murray, SEAKR's NEMO Program Manager said, "SEAKR will use a modified version of the Proven QuickBird Architecture, providing redundant power and control hardware for enhanced reliability. We used this approach in our proposal because of the maturity of this unique modular design, widespread acceptance of the architecture and its low cost. The combination of which, substantially mitigates risk to the program." About SEAKR Founded in 1982, SEAKR Engineering, Incorporated, a small business organization, is primarily engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of advanced technology solid state data processing and mass storage systems for space, aerospace, military and rugged applications.
