Data Visualization

SDL currently supplies a variety of data visualization software and hardware to customers such as the US Navy and Marine Corps, as well as many private companies.

Display Stations

SDL has designed and built a variety of command, control and display stations (CADS) which include hardware and software components and have been implemented on platforms from PC to VME/RACEway. SDL’s CADS have been installed in laboratories, aircraft carriers and mounted in HMMWVs . They come in a variety of configurations including rack mounted, rugged portable, and desktop or laptop PC. These configurations are all available with a common CADS software package that includes web tools for distributed image screening. CADS–produced images can also be ported to PDAs.

CADS can be customized to support data from multiple sensor formats, including single– and multi–band electro–optical/infrared (EO/IR), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), hyperspectral (HSI) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based platforms. CADS EO/IR capabilities extend to step/stare, line scanner, ball gimbal and video image acquisition. CADS are fully customizable, making them ideal for nearly all intelligence and reconnaissance applications.

Rack Mounted Systems

SDL’s rack mounted systems have the greatest range of capabilities, including sensor command and control, common data link (CDL) data interface, and real–time image processing and display. SDL’s rack mounted systems have been fielded as part of a variety of US Navy programs including the Tactical Input Segment (TIS) program.

Rugged Portable Systems

SDL’s rugged portable display stations are designed to provide rapid screening of digital tactical image data from a digital storage system (DSS), DVD, CD or hard drive. Rugged systems are capable of screening any of the various sensors that a rackmount system is capable of screening. They are built from rugged and ruggedized COTS components. These rugged systems are the basis for the SHARP Display Station (SDS) the US Navy currently uses aircrew training, mission results validation, target verification and on–site maintenance assistance.

Desktop Systems

SDL’s desktop display stations are standard multi–display desktop PCs with CADS software loaded. They are used for distributed screening of sensor data. They will figure prominently in the future of image display as SDL continues to develop net–centric architecture.
