BALTIMORE, MD--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 3, 2006 -- View Systems, Inc. (OTC BB:VYST.OB), a leading homeland defense solutions provider, announced today a new addition to the VFR (Visual First Responder) line of products.
The original VFR is a sought-after product for Hazmat technicians. The need to have steady, wireless video has been clearly indicated by the response communities. Many tactical units, in addition to search and rescue teams, have asked View to develop an additional product suited to their needs. The VFRM2 addresses those specific needs and provides more performance while maintaining mission flexibility.
"The M2 stands for multi-mission," states Homeland Defense Products Manager, Dave Johansen. "The VFRM2 is a 'hands-free' system which is what S.W.A.T. members have asked for. We have received a tremendous amount of input from first responders, and they have helped us design a real winner."
The VFRM2 has multiple video inputs to allow several capabilities in the same mission such as thermal imaging and flexible neck camera usage. The VFRM2 can provide video when the situation will not allow standard wireless transmission; for example, collapsed structures or high interference environments. The VFRM2 maintains the excellent wireless range coupled with the heavy video encryption and rugged construction first seen in the original VFR.
The VFR was selected by R&D Magazine as one of the 100 Most Technologically Significant New Products of the Year. VFR enables commanders to witness frontline activity "live." According to www.avem.org, R&D Magazine is a news-oriented publication that reaches more than 90,000 scientists and engineers. The publication "reports and analyzes leading-edge scientific and technological discoveries that drive product and process development across all industries (www.avem.org)."
View Systems CEO, Gunther Than, states, "The VFRM2 has applications in many more market segments than the original VFR. We are also integrating a state-of-the-art multi-sensing technology that will shake the market and set View Systems apart. The VFR series is a success in the homeland defense market."
