Integrates with SPx Software for Expanded Capabilities
SPx Server can provide ASD-100 with radar video and track reports. It also supports tracking from IFF video, including extraction of the encoded SSR (IFF) information.
SPx Fusion Server can provide ASD-100 with a fused data stream from multiple radars and sensors.
RDR Data Recorder can provide a multi-channel data recording and replay solution for radar video, tracks, ADS-B, operator screen recording, audio and more.
TEWA (Threat Evaluation and Weapon Assignment) can expand the capabilities of ASD-100 into a capable air defence system.
SPx SafeyNet Server:
The SPx Safety Net Server module watches the air picture in the background and warns operators of potential conflicts before they happen, with alerts shown directly in ASD-100.
This can be essential in busy or complex airspace, where a developing conflict could easily be missed on a crowded display.
The server predicts where aircraft are heading and checks for three types of hazards. Short Term Conflict Alerts warn when aircraft are likely to come too close to each other. Area Proximity Warnings flag aircraft about to enter a defined area. Minimum Safe Altitude Warnings use terrain data to spot aircraft heading too close to the ground. Warning distances, altitudes and look-ahead times are all configurable, and areas such as airfields can be excluded where aircraft are expected to fly close together or low.

Comprehensive upgrade for legacy air defence processing and display systems
By combining ASD-100 with other Cambridge Pixel solutions, Air Defence Systems can be upgraded predominantly using software, making them cost-effective and future-proof. Operators can retain existing (and expensive) front-end radar hardware. Support for standard ASTERIX data provides compatibility with other systems using these formats.
Source code licensing is also available, allowing developers to extend, localise and ensure long-term support.
