The Viperfish recorder is designed to comply with the military standards such as electromagnetic interference and explosive environment.

Equipped with post-mission analysis software, the recorder allows the operators to view recorded or live video with a complete integrated sensor package.

This provides them with a total operating picture while in the field or at command and control centres.

The Viperfish recorders are currently in use on the USAF AC-130 Gunships, Canadian Navy Sea King Helicopters, and the French Navy.

Previously, the company was contracted by the USAF to provide airborne digital video recorders for its fleet of AC-130 Gunships through its Deep Development Corporation division.
