Cambridge Pixel introduces USVx
Cambridge Pixel has launched a new radar display application called USVx, for the control of radar sensors and tracking functions on unmanned surface vehicles (USVs).
The USVx radar display software provides an integrated display picture of radar, tracks, automatic identification system (AIS) data, context maps and NMEA-0183 navigation data from the USV.
Operators can change range scale, control the operation of the radar and tracker remotely, and monitor alarms and track reports via a graphical user interface designed for use with touchscreens. Fusion software also enables AIS reports to be combined with radar tracks.
Mark Saunders, sales director, Cambridge Pixel, said: ‘We are excited to be at the forefront of USV development. Our expertise is well-suited to autonomous vehicles as our core competence is extracting and tracking targets from radar video. Already, we have been working with some of the key USV developers who come to us because we have the capability to interface to a wide range of radar types and offer modules for radar acquisition, processing, tracking, fusion and recording.
‘With the addition of USVx, we can now offer our partners a ready-to-run client application providing clear, maritime-style presentation of radar video, tracks and AIS data, alongside our suite of SPx software, giving integrators flexibility and freedom to use just the modules they require for their specific solution.’
