Developing an operator display application is an attractive option for many system integrators because it provides the maximum flexibility to meet the requirements of the end user and also provides an in-house capability. The SPx Development Library provides the modules that a developer needs in order to add radar display capability into their own display application; however, just developing with a toolkit alone can take time. The beauty of the framework application approach is that it provides a firm foundation which may then be modified and extended to meet specific requirements, potentially saving months of development time without losing internal capability.
Together, Cambridge Pixel's engineering team has decades of experience in development of complex radar processing and display applications. Developers using framework applications as the basis for their own display applications get the benefit of this experience, leaving them free to concentrate on the unique requirements of their particular projects.
Framework packages are available covering a range of possible application areas, such as maritime displays on-board ships (Maritime Display Framework), remote maritime displays for USVs (USVx) and air situation displays (ASD-100).
