Patton - Special Projects

The Patton Electronics Visuality family of products had its genesis with a government customer. With this mobile video product line, leveraged from Patton’s pre-existing open source software suite, Patton continues to provide Visuality products and modifications to various levels of government and commercial customers.

The Special Projects Group contributes its expertise to extend the Visuality family with System and Security Integration partners. Combined with the management and technical expertise of the group and Patton’s worldwide distribution capability into over 120 countries worldwide, OEMs, developers and security providers can, upon flexible business terms, partner with Patton to provide unique and customer-specific solutions that are affordable, supportable, and manufactured in the USA.
