Cambridge Pixel’s radar acquisition and display technology has been selected by Lockheed Martin Canada for integration with its naval Combat Management System (CMS) 330, the company announced on 11 July.
Cambridge Pixel’s scan converter runs in each display console to convert the polar-format network video into a PPI or B-Scan representation for display to the operator.
The radar image must be scaled and adjusted to match the view being requested by the operator. It can then be combined with map graphics, such as nautical charts; and overlay symbols, such as track positions. The combined multi-layer picture is then presented to the user. The CMS has full control over the presentation of the radar imagery, including colour, brightness, fading, trails and scan correlation.
Cambridge Pixel's radar technology is being used in naval, air traffic control, vessel traffic, commercial shipping, security, surveillance and airborne radar applications.
