PLATH unveils new MACSS maritime surveillance system
Plath has unveiled a new communication signal surveillance system for the maritime market called MACSS, the company announced on 26 January.
MACSS combines a highly sensitive lightweight antenna and a high-performance seven channel direction finding receiver with integrated map and analysis software modules in a compact solution.
The system contributes to coastal surveillance and self-protection capabilities by providing a detailed and comprehensive picture of communication signals in the surrounding sea environment. It enables threats to be detected at a longer range than traditional radar and optical sensors allow; and produces easily interpreted data results to heighten accuracy.
With a scalable and modular design, customers can begin with the basic MACSS version and expand it over time by incorporating more powerful components as requirements evolve.
