Video streaming technology developer Haivision Systems Inc. has received a $61.2-million contract to deliver combat video processing suites for the US Navy.
The deal stipulates the production of the Quebec-based company’s video distribution and combat visualization systems to enable “mission-critical display” for the service’s Surface Combatant Fleet.
The package incorporates transcoding, storage, and distribution assets, enabling coordination between the navy’s Combat Information Centers and multiple warships.
Alongside the naval combat systems, Haivision’s capabilities will support the US Coast Guard’s next-generation cutters.
Work for the contract will be conducted over five years by the company’s MCS subsidiary in Atlanta, Georgia.
“We are honored to continue our partnership with the US Navy and to be entrusted with this crucial responsibility,” Haivision MCS Strategic Programs VP Robert Kaufman said.
“This award is a testament to the excellence of our technology and our dedicated team. We are committed to delivering high-quality systems that will support the Navy’s mission and enhance the operational effectiveness of its Surface Combatant Fleet.”
Extending US Navy Support
Haivision’s award builds on its existing engagement with the US Navy’s Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) program, which promotes the use of a Common Computing Environment to sustain on-board network connectivity across active surface vessels.
CANES is currently leveraging the firm’s real-time video recording, encoding, transcoding, and playback technology for associated ship-wide video distribution.
In 2021, the Canadian company expanded its ongoing support for the US Department of Defense by acquiring video solutions developer CineMassive, allowing the launch of its new Mission-Critical Systems segment.
