Cambridge Pixel supplies radar software to OSI
Cambridge Pixel’s radar simulator software has been supplied to OSI Maritime Systems (OSI) as part of an Integrated Bridge System being delivered to the Royal Malaysian Navy, the company announced on 2 March.
OSI is supplying an Integrated Bridge System to Malaysia for its new Littoral Combat Ships (LCS).
The fully-functioning radar simulator being supplied by Cambridge Pixel includes comprehensive software emulation of the radar control interface based on its SPx radar simulator product.
The simulator includes powerful multi-channel radar video generation with full modelling for realistic terrain and clutter returns. Multiple targets may be defined, each either located in a fixed position - such as a buoy or lighthouse - or moving along motion profiles defined as part of the simulator’s scenario or under remote control from an external source.
To provide a full emulation capability for OSI, Cambridge Pixel augmented the existing radar simulator by emulating the control and status interface of the Kelvin Hughes SharpEye radar used on the LCS. The resulting emulator can be used to fully exercise the radar control, tracking and display functions of OSI’s application software.
David Johnson, CEO, Cambridge Pixel, said: ‘We were delighted to work alongside OSI to support their activities on this significant programme. The modular approach which we bring to all our software products meant that enhancing our existing simulation capability to meet the customer’s detailed requirements was a low-risk development and could be delivered on time and fully compliant.
‘Our radar simulation software and hardware products have supported many customers needing a realistic radar source that can be used to fully exercise tracking and display functionality. We have been able to build on this capability to meet OSI’s needs.’
