The US Air Force has issued a combined synopsis / solicitation for a portable video surveillance system with COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmision capability. The system calls for several camera systems with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) control and recording capability. The system calls for standard CCTV type cameras. SPI has a variety of camera systems and can custom configure wireless links via OFDM or COFDM technologies with standard CCD cameras, thermal imaging infrared camera and night vision technologies.
