Anyone work with a group of five to fifteen persons who is willing to help me test a prototype sensor and communications suite?

If the systems work as well as they should, they may be handy in several situations. Included is one set of goggles, set to display IR, UV, visual, and to a much lesser degree EMF spectrums, one earbud, and one contact mic per person.

These transmit to a base station for recording, and monitoring, as well as being able to transmit data to one another - at least as long as each person recieving the video streams has a mobile base unit to decrypt the transmissions - audio decryption is automatic within each earbud.

The encryption protocal is a frequency slide system with an encrypted data stream, 512bit encryption schematic, that is syncronized with the main base when the portable units - visors, buds, and portable bases - are atatched to the base unit for recharging.

Estemated range for voice communication, 1 mile earbud to earbud, 5 miles earbud to mobile base, 10 miles earbud to main hub, and 50 miles mobile base to main hub.

Main base is approximately 75 lbs with emergency generator, fuel, solar cell array, and batteries. 48" X 36" x 24"

Mobile base approximately 7 lbs with 4-8 hour battery life, batteries hot swapable, with no downtime, 3" x 12" x 17" - NOTE use of mobile base units for instalation and use of other software may dramaticly reduce battery life of unit.

Goggle and visor unit, Built from the frame of a gen 6 binocular NVG system, included mounts for bot nato and soviet block helmet mounts, 19 oz ith batterries, no lights. 26 oz with one each UV penlight and IR penlight. estamated battery life of 16 hours.

Hope to get some takers on this - not quite light enough for military use, but better than what is currently on the market.

Oh and the manufacturer is looking forword to feedback on the system, both on the usage and on the "polish" of the system.

The software, and the idea were mine - the workmanship is someone else's.

I'm interested, but it won't be anytime soon.

Forgot to put in some information - the transmition ranges are halved when sending and recieving video, and video requires the feild base reciever - the portable pc that has the video display software on it.

Also anything over the simple Visor/earbud combo is set up to act as a relay, thereby extending the operational range of the system as long as the units are well positioned.

My manufacturer says that each feild base unit can handle 64 simultanious feeds, and that the main base station can coalate, crossreference, and bring up any of the transmitions for up to 64 field base units that are running at maximum load.
