Humvee Studio - Mobile DVD Recording and Labeling System

The Challenge:

Many organizations are faced with unique requirements for data archiving and distribution. These requirements can be driven by new laws or regulations, by business growth and the need to implement "best practices," and sometimes, by the failure of their existing data solution.

The US Army, at the direction of Secretary of Defense and along with the other branches of the military, has been transforming itself into a leaner, faster, and more responsive fighting force. A large part of this transformation is occurring in the data center: obtaining information, sharing the information with everyone who needs it, and acting on the information quickly.

The Solution:

Young Minds developed Humvee Studio, a rack mounted DVD recording and labeling system for use in US Army Humvees and trucks. The system was developed together with a major defense contractor. Large amounts of data can be gathered in the field and immediately recorded on DVD discs. The discs are labeled by a thermal disc printer to ensure proper handling.
