     This company is pretty cool.  They sell all sorts of surveillance platforms that could certainly fill a need in the security contracting world.  I am sure there are some companies using them as we speak and that is great.  Systems like this, give you some eyes in the sky and help in the defense of a camp.  And over in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, you see all sorts of interesting systems that do this job.  But back to the potential security contractor use of such things.

     When operating at a remote site that has all sorts of crazy terrain, you need the ability to keep track of of all that terrain.  Can you do that job with one big expensive system that is difficult to set up and break down quickly, or could you use several systems that are mobile/self contained/and easy to set up all over the place?  Each site is different, and I think a company would be smart to choose the correct tool for the job, depending on that site.

    On the downside with these smaller systems, is that if the mast is not totally secure, it could very well whip all over the place in the wind.  Although camera systems do have stabilizing features to work through this, they are not perfect.  But I am sure the company could answer this kind of question for the buyer, but it is definitely something to think about. 

   This company seems to offer all sorts of mobile options.  Also, this company sells the standard blimp systems and they also sell a mast type system that can mount in the back of a F 350 or off a HMMV bumper.  They are all about custom work too.  Good stuff all around, and the pricing is not too bad either.  I do not work for these guys, but I certainly salute their efforts.  –Head Jundi
