BAE Systems Mission Systems in New Malden and Portsmouth, England has integrated Cambridge Pixel s software-based SPx radar scan converter into its command and control client software. This enables radar video to be received from multiple radars on-board the ships into a server application and then distributed over Ethernet networks to command and control displays across the ship. The server application is built from Cambridge Pixel s HPx-100 radar acquisition cards and SPx software modules for compression and network interfacing. The new client-side software radar video rendering provides enhanced flexibility and capability at reduced cost over previous generation hardware rendering solutions. </p> </span> </span> <h2> <span style="font-size: 9pt">December 2010 - Cambridge Pixel supplying Tellumat with Radar Extractors for South African Airforce (SAAF) </span> </h2> <span style="font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: top; position: static"><p> <img id="Img2" alt="" src="Images/saaf-radar.bmp" style="float: left; margin: 2px 8px 2px 2px; width: 99px; height: 72px" /> Cambridge Pixel announces that it is&nbsp; supplying its SPx primary radar plot extraction&nbsp; software to Tellumat in South Africa for upgrade of the SAAF airfield approach systems. The system uses Cambridge Pixel s HPx-100 radar interface card to interface to the multiple videos, trigger and azimuth data of the Air Force s ATCR-33 radar. The digitised video is then processed by the SPx plot extraction and plot merging module. In addition, the SPx Scan Converter module supports the PPI display of selected video inputs, which is then overlaid with graphics symbology. The project has upgraded six Air Force sites with the enhanced capabilities. &nbsp; </span> <h2> <span style="font-size: 9pt">November &nbsp;2010 - Cambridge Pixel to Supply Trackers for UK Military Air Traffic Control </span> </h2> <span style="font-size: 9pt"> <span style="font-size: 9pt; vertical-align: top; position: static"> <p> <img id="Img8" alt="" onclick="return IMG5_onclick()" src="Images/cobham-pr.bmp" style="float: left; margin: 2px 8px 2px 2px" /> Cambridge Pixel announces that it is&nbsp; supplying its SPx primary radar Tracking server to Cobham for upgrade of UK MOD Air Traffic Control services. Cambridge Pixel's tracker will supply primary track data into Cobham RDSTrack fusion system. A number of radar sites across the UK will be upgraded with the new capabilities. Cambridge Pixel s SPx Track solution allows video data from the radar to be processed and potential targets to be identified. Target information is then provided to Cobham's RDSTrack data fusion and distribution system to form a complete situational awareness display. </span> &nbsp; </span><h2> <span style="font-size: 9pt">October 2010 - Cambridge Pixel Contributes to Radar Business Report</span></h2> <span style="font-size: 9pt"></span> <span style="font-size: 9pt"> <p>Cambridge Pixel is pleased to be a principal contributor to Visiongain's latest business report on the military radar systems market 2009-2010.
