CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UTC Aerospace Systems has installed a Cloud Cap Technology TASE 400HD airborne imaging system on a new Airbus Helicopters Inc. AS350b3e helicopter, operated by the  Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) Highway Air Operations.  UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

The installation of the Cloud Cap Technology TASE 400HD will provide the Mississippi Highway Patrol Air Operations with high-performance day and night thermal imagery to support its multi-mission capability in patrol, hurricane support and drug enforcement.

The thermal imager in the TASE 400HD can see in total darkness and through nearly all weather conditions. The daylight camera provides superior high-definition imagery for enhanced situational awareness, and public and officer safety. Mississippi DPS will have the ability to automatically and clearly track fixed or moving targets of interest, and easily mark and report the location of suspicious activity, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
