Cambridge Pixel develops radar display for unmanned vehicles

Cambridge Pixel has released a radar display application to control radar on unmanned surface vehicles (USV) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASV).

Called USVx, the software "provides an integrated display picture of radar, tracks, AIS (automatic identification system) data, context maps and NMEA-0183 navigation data from the USV," according to a Cambridge news release. "USVx provides a powerful and intuitive graphical user interface designed for use with touchscreens that allows the operator to change range scale, control the operation of the radar and tracker remotely, and monitor alarms and track reports. Fusion software enables AIS reports to be combined with radar tracks."
