Warzone/The Drive: The Navy's New Aircraft Carrier Has A Revolutionary Video System That Sees Everywhere All The Time
America's carriers are going from having a sailor film deck operations through a window to recording the entire deck with no cameraman at all.
In a follow-up to our recent profile on the unique wrap-around windowed enclosure, known as the Island Camera Room, found on American aircraft carriers, we have confirmation that the new Ford Class supercarriers feature a far more technologically advanced system—one that requires no windows or even a camera operator at all.
The old system, which evolved over many decades, had a camera operator inside the windowed room that filmed all the launches and recovered aboard the ship. The camera was connected to a closed-circuit video network system and much like a television studio camera, it could only look in one direction at a time. Although the technology largely stayed the same from the early 1980s on, its video products, along with other fixed cameras around the ship's deck, were fed into ever more advanced central interfaces that dispersed the feeds to television monitors throughout the ship. This total system was dubbed the Integrated Launch and Recovery Television Surveillance (ILARTS) system.
