TA Develops Navy Telepresence Software

To reduce costs associated with flying subject matter experts (SMEs) to remote fleet positions, TA has developed “Telemachus” for shipboard telemaintenance. The system consists of a portable UDP/IP-based video and document sharing module as well as a projective optical diagramming system. Telemachus is ideal for shipboard use because the entire system is fully contained in a single compact carrying case, requires no modification to shipboard equipment, and establishes intuitive, latency-tolerant communications between the SME and the ships force.
