Cambridge Pixel lands £600,000 deal with BAE Systems
Cambridge Pixel, a developer of radar, processing and display solutions, has secured a £600,000 contract to supply its SPx radar scan conversion solutions to BAE Systems Mission Systems, for deployment on the British Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyers and the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.
BAE Systems Mission Systems in New Malden and Portsmouth has already integrated the SPx radar scan converter into its command and control client software to enable radar video to be received from multiple radars on board the ships into a server application.
"Our SPx software provides a flexible and expandable solution that can meet the complex requirements of the new generation naval platforms," said David Johnson, managing director of Cambridge Pixel.
The server application is built from the company's HPx-100 radar acquisition cards and SPx software modules for compression and network interfacing. The new client side software radar video rendering is said to provide enhanced flexibility and capability at reduced cost over previous generation hardware rendering solutions.
