All-in-one radar video, conversion, and display

So you’ve acquired the radar data … how do you display it? That’s the mission of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing’s Cougar two-slot VME card set. Designed for military applications, the assembly simplifies the integration of advanced radar image processing and distribution – specifically in deployed embedded systems. Since the boards come from CWCEC, you know they’re available in air- and conduction-cooled versions over a wide temperature range. The all-in-one set performs radar video acquisition, scan conversion, and display. It can even drive multiple displays and be remotely controlled over a network via the provided API. Based upon an Intel Core 2 Duo SBC with Windows or Linux, the SBC supports RVL with an API that allows it to interface with a complete radar or mission computer system. Analog radar or RVP server inputs feed the board, which then can drive an RGB/DVI display at up to 2 K x 2 K with mixed scan-converted radar (such as for symbology overlay). Optional video inputs and a second output display are even included. There are also four PMC/XMC expansion slots (two per LRU) to allow users mix-and-match application capabilities including: radar video input processor, radar video scan converter, high-performance video controller, video mixer, or onboard mass storage for data recorder applications or a moving map database.
