Persistent Surveillance Systems (PSS), builds air- and ground-based camera systems that have helped police departments in the U.S. and Mexico solve 34 murders, Ross McNutt, PSS president, told the Dayton Daily News last summer. “We’ve actually witnessed people kill multiple times,” McNutt said at the time.
The systems can be mounted on airplanes flying at about 10,000 feet, and PSS camera systems offer a sensitivity 10 times greater than that of IMAX cameras (8.84 million pixels), McNutt, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, said last year.
According to the proposed agreement, the company will provide 120 hours of airborne surveillance. Services will include installation, data capture, analysis and training for up to four police officers. Up to three analyst workstations will also be installed at Tech Town, as well, according to city documents.
Also: Commission is being asked to approve a $20,000 development agreement with PSS to build out and lease space on the second floor of a building at Tech Town.
The company’s lease will be 9 months, with a four-year renewal option. The company is expected to invest $12,000 to build out the space, according to city documents.
