Cambridge Pixel has announced that it has been selected by Frontier Electronic Systems (FES) to continue supplying its advanced radar scan conversion solution, following the award of a $94m IDIQ contract by the US Navy.
FES will provide hardware and engineering services for the Navy’s ship data distribution systems using its DDS AN/SPQ-15(V) architecture and incorporating Cambridge Pixel software for radar processing and scan conversion. The DDS architecture allows direct interface with the US Navy’s standard IFF radars and sensors, allowing analogue radar signals to be received and converted into radar images for distribution over standard LAN protocols.
Cambridge Pixel radar scan conversion is implemented on Linux COTS servers that offload scan conversion calculations from the display console. Supporting both PPI and B-Scan display formats, the radar scan converter creates an image that is distributed to the display console, where it can be combined with layers of tactical and cartographic data to create a multi-layered display.
