Cambridge Pixel, a developer of radar software, sensor processing and display solutions for Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), has released SPx Server V2, a major update to its radar processing software.
The new release introduces proximity detection for collision avoidance and autonomous navigation. It also expands interoperability through support for TAK and SAPIENT track output formats, which are increasingly used in modern situational awareness and command-and-control systems. In addition, SPx Server V2 adds support for the HPx-700 embedded processing platform and ARM-based systems.
To streamline deployment, the software features AI-assisted system configuration using Machine Learning to optimize processing parameters and simplify setup. Additional capabilities include an integrated radar coverage display for visibility validation, enhanced track reporting, and improved plot history visualisation.
Available for both Linux and Windows, SPx Server V2 supports radar video distribution, detection processing, and target tracking configurations. The software retains compatibility with thousands of systems already deployed in the field, enabling existing users to upgrade without operational disruption.
Combined with the HPx-700 Radar Input & Processing Unit, SPx Server V2 provides an embedded radar processing solution for developers of unmanned and autonomous systems. The platform can also be expanded using additional capabilities from the SPx software range to meet specific detection and tracking requirements.
Martin Hoather, Cambridge Pixel’s Managing Director, commented, “SPx Server is a key product at the heart of many radar processing applications in maritime and naval platforms, including numerous USV designs. This new release retains full compatibility with the many thousands of deployed systems, whilst expanding the capabilities for emerging applications.”
