ALTAVE OMNI is the first wide area persistent surveillance aerostat ever developed for civilian application.
With growing concerns about terrorism and criminal acts, especially at international events, the ALTAVE OMNI Aerostats were selected due to their unique ability to prevent, detect and quickly investigate suspicious acts:
The total contract value granted to ALTAVE was approximately US $8 million and included all items required for the 4 systems to operate, such as the aerostats, winch systems, tethers, trailers, optronics, imaging processing servers, energy supplies, software and training.
The project was developed under hash requirements and deadlines, making a total of 6 months from signing to delivering 4 field-tested units, ahead of schedule.
