Blighter, a designer and manufacturer of ground-based electronic-scanning radars for border and coastal security, has unveiled BlighterNexus, an AI-assisted connectivity and processing hub.
BlighterNexus is designed to reduce the training and operational burden on systems integrators seeking to incorporate Blighter’s 2D, 3D and 4D radars into their command and control (C2) systems.
The BlighterNexus AI-assisted hub comprises around thirty different licensable service, sensor-connector, C2-connector and application modules. For example, in addition to the automation functions, there are sensor connector modules to allow low latency integration of cameras, radio direction finding (RDF) equipment for drone detection and other geo sensors to provide integrators with an all-in-one detect-track-identify capability.
BlighterNexus also features a module to securely record all sensor data for real-time playback and/or post mission analysis and an AI system for target classification. A Fat-Pipe module allows all radar data to be flooded out of BlighterNexus into an external AI system if preferred.
BlighterNexus comes pre-installed on an industrial PC. The hub provides a unified 360-degree radar feed to the C2 system or additional BlighterNexus Hubs.
According to the company, cost savings of up to 20 percent can be achieved by using the AI-assisted software to automate setup, configuration and adjustment of multiple radars.
