Advanced Alerting:
- The REMAS platform provides automated notifications to designated personnel to alert when out-of-bounds conditions occur.
- Navy managers can configure notifications based on severity level to escalate from simple emails to logic-based synthetic voice calling trees with prompted response.
- High valued assets and data defended with redundant alert methods.
Visualization and Reporting:
- The REMAS platform provides access to real-time data by onsite flat-panel monitors and remotely by a secure web-based portal.
- Standard or customized reports are downloadable for inclusion in test data packages or independent analysis.
Support Services:
- Personnel have experience installing and maintaining monitoring systems in diverse locations: legacy and new construction test bays; ordnance magazines; engineering spaces; and stand-alone weather observation stations.
- The REMAS platform equipment has a low footprint. Virtually any sensor can be accommodated, including intrinsically safe sensors.
- Personnel are invested as Navy stakeholders and proud to serve.
- The REMAS platform is actively maintained by DRI’s Naval Earth Sciences and Engineering Program (NESEP), a team dedicated to delivering applied science and engineering research services focused on USN USN partner mission objectives.
