 mounted on a helicopter performing minefield scans. This unique sensor streams high-speed data for recording and later analysis to the TALON 2211. The information collected by LCI's sensor system is written to an airborne drive pack and then quickly and easily deployed to a ground station for analysis, post processing, and archiving. LCI chose TALON because it is extremely fault-tolerant, uniquely suited to high-bandwidth applications, and offers an innovative way to move around over a Terabyte of data.

"Storing and accessing data as quickly and reliably as possible is a critical requirement in these applications. Our military customers need a highly reliable solution that they can count on, and Ciprico's experience in digital signal recording made them an obvious choice," said Robert Bridges Robert Seymour Bridges, OM, (October 23, 1844 – April 21, 1930) was an English poet, holder of the honour of poet laureate from 1913.

Our knowledge and support during LCI's testing of the TALON 2211 confirms once again that Ciprico is indeed the leader in reliable, high performing storage solutions for C4ISR applications."
