Designed to work on multiple platforms / host vehicles, such as Land Rovers, the PRESIDIAN uses multiple advanced sensors to detect and track targets of interest, including EchoShield, a next-generation cognitive 4D radar from Echodyne, and the powerful Vision Flex camera from OpenWorks.
Central to the upgrade is the most advanced version of Cambridge Pixel’s VSD-C2 software, a flexible operator display for surveillance that provides state-of-the-art features and an intuitive user interface. VSD-C2 Advanced supports the upgraded sensors using Cambridge Pixel’s SPx Track Manager software module, which can seamlessly filter tracks and convert formats from a very wide range of sensors.
The upgrade will allow operators of the fully mobile PRESIDIAN to accurately detect, track and display observations from ground targets to small, fast-moving drones. With support for a wide range of other devices, VSD provides flexible expansion possibilities including the addition of effectors such as jammers, or the output of Open Standards track data to enable integration with third-party systems.
Cambridge Pixel’s engineering expertise enabled the software to be adapted to the changes in the system hardware specifications that were made during the project. This level of flexibility meant DJ Byers could modify their requirements to develop the most innovative and effective solution for their customers.
Commenting on the project, Cambridge Pixel's Principal Engineer, Andrew Haylett, said: "VSD-C2 Advanced was the ideal solution for DJ Byers, providing them with the flexibility to select the most advanced sensors, and display the sensor data in a highly customised format. The result is a solution that will provide the operator with exceptional surveillance capabilities.”
Patrick Byers, Technical Director at DJ Byers Security Solutions added: “By selecting Cambridge Pixel to support this upgrade to our fully mobile surveillance system, we’ve been able to adapt our specifications to take advantage of cutting-edge technology and ensure PRESIDIAN provides the advanced capabilities that our customers demand. They have been instrumental in the highly successful delivery of this project.”
