The GECO Payload Interface Master Module Phase I development approach capitalizes on both our telecom and defense electronic design experiences to provide SOCOM with an optimal PIMM design. GECO's research trade studies will allow us to deliver the best performance that commercial technologies can support and our design engineering experience will insure the optimal solution is fielded in a package that is both rugged and supportable. This approach allows the insertion of the latest and most capable COTS technologies including WiMAX and cellular standards to support the need for a low cost line-of-sight high rate sensor data link. This approach also supports the beyond line-of-sight moderate rate video data link with the most advantages solution. GECO's experience includes system design and integration of video data links on UAVs and the integration of this data into a helicopter crew station. The integration of this data to the SOF user will be accomplished without risk due to our previous experience with designing and integrating video sensors and software into a classified system. Finally, our capabilities to manufacture hardware such as the Digital Video Adapter product will allow the PIMM to be easily integrated into any Mission Equipment Package the SOCOM customer specifies.
