Blighter™ Display and Control Workstation (BDCW)
Blighter™ is Plextek's family of security products consisting of radar and asset tracking solutions. The Blighter™ range of radars comprises low cost, electronically scanned, portable FMCW radar systems for the remote detection of moving targets. Igence were contracted to develop a display and control workstation for the Blighter™ radar
For further information on the Blighter™ radar please visit www.blighter.com
The Blighter™ DCW was designed to:
- Quickly set-up and control the Blighter™ radar
- Provide a flexible map calibration system
- Display target plots with additional target information such as location, size and radial velocity
- Facilitate asset protection and border surveillance by providing user configurable alert zones
- Achieve seamless integration with thermal imagers, day/night cameras and other remote sensors
- Allow the operator to listen to the Doppler Signature of the target to provide efficient classification
Our adaptable approach to software development enabled us to prototype and enhance the GUI functionality as the radar design itself achieved maturity.
