Data Management Systems

The fully integrated Data Management System (DMS) eliminates multiple independent displays by assimilating the information from multiple sensors into one database, and streamlining operations through enhanced workstations. Our system enables an aircraft to collect and present integrated tactical situational awareness data gathered by multiple sensors and systems.
