Pleora Demonstrating Real-Time Sensor Networking and Advanced Situational Awareness Software at IAV 2020
Sensor networking platform and integrated situational awareness software help vehicle crew perform tasks more effectively, efficiently, and safely while reducing cognitive burden
Pleora Technologies will be demonstrating how its RuggedCONNECT™ Smart Video Switching platform and situational awareness software provide critical decision-support capabilities to increase mission effectiveness for ground vehicle crew at the International Armoured Vehicles 2020 conference (Twickenham Stadium, London, United Kingdom, Jan. 20-23, stand #B4). To book a demo visit https://go.pleora.com/IAV-2020.
Pleora's RuggedCONNECT platform converts sensor data from multiple sources into a standardized feed that is transmitted over a low latency, multicast Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) network to endpoints. Manufacturers can design straightforward camera-to-display systems and cost-effectively evolve to fully networked architectures integrating different sensor and display types, switching, processing, and recording units. With all devices connected to a common infrastructure, vehicle crew can view information they need on a single display and know immediately if something has changed in their environment.
Combining the high-performance networking of RuggedCONNECT with the powerful GPU resources of the NVIDIA Jetson TX2i, designers can easily add machine learning-based decision-support capabilities to help reduce cognitive burden and increase mission effectiveness. Advanced situational awareness software, available as solution plug-ins for RuggedCONNECT, includes automatic threat detection, region of interest, and rollover warning capabilities to improve battlefield intelligence.
Pleora has announced technology partnerships with Mission Control Space Services and Lemay.ai to develop machine-learning artificial intelligence capabilities for military imaging platforms. For more on Pleora's artificial intelligence capabilities for military applications visit C4ISR.ai.
Global manufacturers are designing Pleora's military imaging expertise into local situational awareness (LSA), Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), remote controlled weapon stations (RCWS), driver vision enhancement (DVE), and panoramic surveillance applications.
Presentation at IAV - 11:00 am, January 20
Pleora President Harry Page will be discussing how understanding challenges and mission goals for vehicle crew members is critical when developing new technology for the military market. Joining Mr. Page will be Alan Bolster. Mr. Bolster spent over 37 years in uniform with the Canadian army, and has experience both in Canada and internationally as a tank and reconnaissance officer with operational tours in Germany, the Middle East, and Afghanistan.
Pleora's presentation - "Real-Time Sensor Networking for Mission Critical Applications" - is on January 20th at 11 a.m., as part of the IAV 2020 MRO & Retro In-Service Support Focus Day.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
