Cambridge Pixel receives VSD system order
Cambridge Pixel has been selected to supply Video Security Display (VSD) systems for a Middle Eastern military border and maritime security programme, the company announced on 10 April.
The VSDs will be supplied through the company’s Middle Eastern partner, Defense Integrated Solutions Security Systems.
The programme will integrate multiple sensors (radar and cameras) to provide comprehensive and effective monitoring for border and maritime security.
Each system will be equipped with multiple sensor interface hardware and the VSD application software for deployment on a mobile platform. The VSD system provides the operator with an intuitive full-screen graphical user interface that presents multiple sensor windows to permit target tracking and aligning multiple sensors to the target to enhance awareness and quickly discern friendly targets from others.
The sensor-independent VSD software runs on a standard Windows PC and integrates and displays data from multiple radars and up to 16 daylight or thermal cameras. It also includes automatic radar slew-to-cue, radar tracking technology, track fusion as well as support for ship and aircraft transponders.
David Johnson, CEO, Cambridge Pixel, said: ‘We are delighted that our VSD software has been selected for this border and maritime security programme. The software has been designed to address a wide variety of security and monitoring requirements and will provide the end user with a highly flexible and powerful solution.’
