CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, May 11, 2016 – Cambridge Pixel (www.cambridgepixel.com), a prestigious developer of radar display, tracking, and recording subsystems, has introduced USVx, an innovative radar display application for managing radar sensors and tracking functions on unmanned or autonomous surface vehicles (USV/ASVs).
Cambridge Pixel’s USVx radar display software is aimed at developers and manufacturers of USVs. USVx offers a unified display interface featuring radar, track data, AIS (automatic identification system) information, contextual maps, and NMEA-0183 navigation data from the USV.
USVx includes a robust and user-friendly graphical interface designed for seamless touchscreen interaction, enabling operators to adjust range scales, remotely control radar and tracker functions, and monitor alarms and tracking updates. The fusion software integrates AIS reports with radar tracks for enhanced situational awareness.
Unmanned surface vehicles operate autonomously on water, managed from a terrestrial base or mothership. A typical surveillance USV features an array of sensors, supporting self-navigation and autonomous decision-making. Radar serves as the principal sensor for most ASV operations, delivering crucial data for navigation and obstacle avoidance.
The demand for USVs is rapidly escalating, propelled by the needs of naval forces and commercial entities worldwide seeking enhanced maritime security solutions – combating terrorism, piracy, smuggling, protecting coastal waters and ports, and conducting environmental monitoring.
Mark Saunders, sales director at Cambridge Pixel, stated: “We are thrilled to lead the charge in USV innovation. Our expertise in extracting and tracking targets from radar video is ideally suited for autonomous vessels. We are currently collaborating with several prominent USV developers who choose us for our ability to interface with a diverse range of radar systems and provide modules for radar acquisition, processing, tracking, fusion, and recording.
“With the launch of USVx, we can now present our partners with a fully operational client application that delivers a clear, maritime-style visualization of radar video, tracks, and AIS data, alongside our SPx software suite,” remarked Saunders, “providing integrators with the flexibility to utilize only the components they need for their specific solutions.”
Cambridge Pixel’s spectrum of interoperable radar processing, display, and recording solutions is extensible to various USV platforms, facilitating local data processing and remote display of radar and camera feeds at command centers.
“Mission data recording is another vital aspect of USV operations and can be managed by our radar data recorder (RDR), which captures and archives radar video, track data, camera feeds, AIS, and navigation information from the remote vehicle,” added Mark Saunders. “The mission information stored by the RDR can be replayed through USVx for post-mission evaluation and analysis.”
Cambridge Pixel’s technology is utilized in naval, air traffic management, vessel traffic, commercial shipping, security, surveillance, and airborne radar domains. Its systems have been implemented in mission-critical roles for companies such as BAE Systems, Frontier Electronic Systems, Barco Defense, Blighter Surveillance Systems, DRS, Exelis, Kelvin Hughes, Lockheed Martin, Navantia, Navtech Radar, Raytheon, Royal Thai Air Force, Samsung Thales, Sofresud, and Tellumat.

Cambridge Pixel is collaborating with its North American distributor EIZO Rugged Solutions (formerly Tech Source) at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Expo 2016 (Stand 1019), Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, Maryland, USA from 16-18 May. The company will be demonstrating its new USVx radar display, along with its radar processing software, target tracking capabilities, and radar data recorder.
