GTEC develops next generation RADAR displays for Department of Defense
Global Defense Technology & Systems, Inc., a provider of mission-critical, technology-based systems, solutions and services for national security agencies and programs of the US government, has developed and installed a cutting edge RADAR display system designed to meet the challenges of the USNS STILETTO, an experimental, high speed vessel developed for the Department of Defense.
Able to travel at 50 knots or more, the STILETTO presented new challenges in maintaining vessel control and comprehensive navigation displays because of the high speeds of which it is capable. GTEC's Automated Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) incorporates collision avoidance data into a radar display to give users a clear picture of other vessels in the area by providing their headings, speeds and alerts for potential collisions. The GTEC ARPA is designed to ensure the STILETTO operates safely and effectively at any speed with a console that allows users to seamlessly switch between radar sources and easily transition from navigational operations to mission modes within an intuitive, easy-to-use information presentation that can be run by a single operator.
For almost two decades GTEC has provided precision navigation and C4ISR systems to the US Coast Guard and Navy. These systems forged the integration of navigation, collision avoidance, communications, and combat systems into one shipboard command and control system. Now GTEC is leveraging that experience to reduce the level of complexity of shipboard systems and is developing alternative applications to provide similar advantages to enable other US military vehicles.
The USNS STILETTO, equipped with the GTEC ARPA display, was recently showcased at the Navy League SeaAirSpace Expo at the National Harbor in Maryland.
