ORLANDO, Fla. U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin collaborated to outfit the USNS Grapple - a rescue and salvage ship supporting NATO missions - with the company's Gyrocam system, the Vehicle Optical Sensor System (VOSS I).
Paul Lemmo, vice president of Fire Control/SOF CLSS at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, says “To support NATO’s security mission quickly, the U.S. Navy needed long-range detection and identification capabilities to identify ships and small water craft.”
U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin representatives worked together to find a VOSS 1 from existing U.S. Government inventory. Officials say, the installation on the USNS Grapple was completed within two weeks.
