Cambridge Pixel upgrades RTAF radar
The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has selected Cambridge Pixel to upgrade its air defence capabilities at select strategic sites, including training facilities and air force bases, the company announced on 27 May.
The company was selected to upgrade the air force's legacy air defence display and processing hardware without replacing the radar sensors. Cambridge Pixel supplied its SPx suite of radar tracking and processing products that interface with existing primary and secondary IFF radars for upgraded target tracking from primary and IFF sensors.
The company's ASD-100 air situation display software provides an integrated display picture of primary and secondary video and tracks overlaid on maps. The software runs on standard PC hardware.
The new features will bring improved target tracking, track fusion, safety alerts and integrated data presentation on a large plan position indicator display.
David Johnson, CEO, Cambridge Pixel, said: 'This is another excellent export contract for Cambridge Pixel and it demonstrates, yet again, that the combination of our innovative software technology, radar engineering expertise and commitment to customer service is attractive to companies the world over.
'By combining our software modules for target tracking and fusion with our ASD-100 display application, we have offered a highly cost-effective upgrade to RTAF. For this project it was important that we could work with the existing radars, and our range of hardware interface cards and radar processing modules was a good match for the requirement.'

Wheeled vehicles ranging in size from 4×4 to 8×8 provide high-speed at a good level of mobility compared to tracked. However, tracked can be larger and have a higher level of mobility in marginal terrain with a smaller turning circle. What are the possibilities for a 10×10?
