Defense and Government

Overview

Bad Wolf Technologies line of MILSPEC video recorders for Defense and Government make excellent building blocks for Mission Recording and Debriefing systems.  These systems are well known for their quality, ruggedness and usability in harsh airborne and shipborne environments.

Procurement

NON-ITAR COTS and GOTS

Bad Wolf Technologies Mission Recording Systems are in use by the USN, USAF and international clients. These non-ITAR COTS and GOTS systems may be purchased directly from Bad Wolf Technologies or through select defense contractors or distributors selling to the U.S. government. Since Bad Wolf Technologies products are non-ITAR COTS & GOTS, there are no prolonged delays or headaches due to export paperwork. No need to deal with ITAR and the complications it brings.

“Easy Button”

Bad Wolf Technologies Red Hawk HD, DR.I and Corsair military DVRs are qualified to MIL-STD-810G, 461F, 461E and 464C for both airborne and shipborne use. Red Hawk HD video recorder has a NSN number making procurement easy (or easier). It’s like pushing an “EZ Button.”

Requirements

Needs analysis

Bad Wolf Technologies does not try to fit “a round peg into a square hole.” Its defense and government sales team starts by performing a needs analysis with support from the engineering team. Once the customer needs have been identified, they are compiled into a “nice to have” vs. a “must have” requirements matrix.

Compliant

The sales team proposes two options. Option 1 covers “must have,” and Option 2 provides a combination of “must have” and “nice to have.” It is then up to the client to select one of the options.

If the solution, while not fully compliant with the requirements matrix may be made to comply within a reasonable amount of time, the client receives a proposal for a modified COTS / GOTS system.

Not compliant

If the team feels that its products are not in compliance with customer requirements and it will take a substantial amount of effort, the decision is made to either (i) bring the solution into compliance, or (ii) to answer the RFQ with “No Bid.”

The client may decide to (i) have Bad Wolf Technologies design a one-off custom solution, (ii) invest resources into modifying an existing one or (iii) accept an existing solution as is. Ultimately, the client drives the decision. As the saying goes, “He who pays the band orders the music.”

Building blocks

System components (building blocks) are based around Bad Wolf Technologies high-definition (3G-SDI & HD-SDI) and standard definition (RS170, CVBS NTSC & PAL) cameras, DVRs – Digital Video Recorders, Video Processors, Multi Viewers and Switchers designed for the markets Bad Wolf Technologies serves.
