Command & Control for the Modern Military

Article

In the context of modern militaries, command and control refers to the processes, systems, and structures that enable military leaders to direct and manage their operating forces effectively. The original acronym for command and control (C2), has been expanded, broadened, narrowed, split, and divided in enumerable ways, from R2C2I to MDC2 to C4ISR. At the foundation of all of the various derivative acronyms, however, is command and control, the venerable C2.

Configurable, Highly Reliable Embedded Computers for Public Safety & Security

Case Study

An established operator of public safety companies across the United States specializes in visual and facial recognition software. Their technology is deployed for law enforcement agencies, emergency services, security installations, municipal infrastructure, and government associations. The software and associated embedded controllers are used in conjunction with camera systems for instant, automatic access data access. The operator-integrator relied on an internationally-sourced device for computer control of this application. However, they began experiencing performance and delivery issues with their existing solution.

The public safety company actively sought out Sealevel for an American-made – and supported – industrial computer with configurable I/O to support a range of cameras and other peripheral equipment. Specifically, they requested an i3 Core processor and a variety of computers to meet their different installation needs with the same footprint and proven performance.

Versatile Communications and I/O for Rugged Industrial Computers

Article

Rugged industrial computers are built to withstand and work in extreme conditions that either limit the functionality of normal consumer grade PCs or cause them to completely break down. There are many different strategies for ruggedizing industrial computers, but a factor nearly as important as the physical ruggedization is a robust and flexible mix of I/O. I/O is the critical link that enables devices to communicate with each other, allowing data to be passed between controllers, sensor systems, and rugged industrial computers. A trend driving Industry 4.0 has been the shift to retrofitting older machines and manufacturing processes with advanced electronics for remote monitoring and control. To facilitate this trend, companies are turning to engineers that specialize in I/O to design and develop smarter, more advanced I/ products that integrate embedded computing technology with the I/O required to interface with a vast assortment of sensors.

Reliable Performance & Response Time for Gunshot Detection

Case Study

Shooter Detection Systems has decades of experience in the development and delivery of gunshot detection technology. As a result, their certified gunshot detection systems are being used in schools, public venues, government facilities and international companies.

Shooter Detection Systems has IP integrations with video, access control, mass notification and other alarms. In an effort to improve the robustness of their Guardian solution in the absences of an IP integration, Shooter Detection Systems asked Sealevel for their recommendation.
