Symetrics Industries and PhotoTelesis Join Forces
Alliance combines Industry leaders in Digital Communications and Imagery Transmission
On November 29, 2005, Symetrics Industries of Melbourne, Florida, and PhotoTelesis of San Antonio, Texas, formed a strategic alliance by combining their businesses as wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed entity, Symetrics Technology Group. Symetrics and PhotoTelesis will pursue new opportunities offering greater value and capability to their customers .
PhotoTelesis designs, manufactures, and markets high performance, cost effective digital imaging and data communications products for the US Department of Defense, as well as other domestic and international military customers. PhotoTelesis, founded and previously owned by David A. Monroe, is recognized as the industry leader in tactical imagery transmission, and has been for over 19 years.
Symetrics provides engineering, manufacturing, testing, integration and support services for electronic systems of the highest quality for the US DoD, domestic and international commercial and military customers. Founded in 1962, the company has built a track record of superior performance on long-term production contracts for many weapons systems.
“ This combination represents a significant strategic positioning for new business opportunities in the defense market,” notes Mitch Garner, Symetrics’ President and CEO. “Symetrics is internationally recognized for its Improved Data Modem (IDM) technology that facilitates digital communications over Combat Net Radios and has worked with PhotoTelesis for several years adding its PRISM™ (Photo Reconnaissance Intel Strike Module) technology to those same IDM products.”
“Both Symetrics’ IDM and the PhotoTelesis® imagery products are flight-proven, ‘off-the-shelf’ systems that facilitate the interconnection to multiple ‘voice-only’ Combat Net Radios to create a multi-path, digital and imagery communications architecture,” explains Ron Ford, President of PhotoTelesis. “This new alliance will be very positive for both our customers and shareholders.
“A recent example of this mutual relationship and technology was a Royal Netherlands Air Force contract for 120 sets of PRISM™ modules, cockpit control units for the fleet of F-16 aircraft, modification kits for the IDM-302, ground station equipment, and technical support. Program success was verified by significant positive feedback coming from the pilots deployed to Afghanistan. The equipment provides real-time imagery sharing between aircraft and ground based command centers.”
