Formation’s Advanced Integrated Recorder (AIR)

SELECTED BY ROYAL DANISH AIR FORCE

Six Danish air stations to meet legal voice recording requirements
with the latest in digital record and replay technology

 MOORESTOWN, NJ, USA (May 17, 2005)… Formation, Inc. announced today that the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) has selected its Advanced Integrated Recorder (AIR) for six air bases in Denmark.  The AIR systems will fulfill the Air Force’s legal voice recording requirements by recording Ground/Air/Ground communications via VHF and UHF radios, as well as ground communications (telephone) lines.  AIR deliveries will take place over the next 60 days.

The RDAF’s requirements include online hard disk storage of 31 days’ voice communications, providing instant access to critical information and eliminating the labor and inconvenience of daily tape changes.  Their AIR systems will be fully redundant to avoid any possible single points of failure, and will be synchronized to Global Positioning System (GPS) to precisely log the timing of any key events.  Additional RDAF requirements include expandability for future connections with digital radios, digital telephones, and the Danish Forces’ Wide Area Network (WAN).

The AIR system is used in air traffic control, air defense and command & control centers worldwide, recording, storing and replaying workstation screen activity, radar, LAN and voice data in a single time-tagged, and synchronized system.  The system is scaleable, expandable and provides any size facility the ability to recreate critical events, eliminate manual data correlation, and reduce liability risk.  Configurations range from a stand-alone 1U (1.75 inch) server with as few as 12 voice channels, to a networked storage system supporting over 1000 screen, data and voice channels.
