Primagraphics Wins US$300k General Dynamics Contract
Primagraphics, the
command & control, video and graphics specialist, has been
awarded a US$300,000 contract by General Dynamics Canada to supply
its Cobra quad video windows solution for use on board the CP-140
Aurora, Canada's long-range maritime patrol aircraft. The CP-140
Aurora aircraft patrol the world's longest coastline and can fly
over 9,000km (5,592 mi) without refueling.
Under a contract from Canada's Department of National Defense,
GD Canada is responsible for the supply and integration of a new
data management system on board the CP-140 Aurora - part of the
ongoing Aurora Incremental Modernization Project (AIMP). Engineers
with GD Canada, based in Ottawa, Canada, needed a video windowing
solution which could handle the multiple video signals from optical
and infrared sensors received at each display console on the
aircraft. The system required also needed to switch and scale the
signals for display in windows with a high-resolution graphics
overlay.
David Johnson, product manager at Primagraphics, said: "We are
delighted to be working with General Dynamics Canada on such a
prestigious program. Cobra is our latest high-performance video
windowing product and provides an excellent platform for
sensor-rich surveillance and reconnaissance applications due to its
quad window capability and the separate graphics channel."
Cobra is designed for sophisticated display applications where
there is a requirement for multiple video and graphics signals to
be displayed simultaneously, such as in command and control
systems, training and simulation, and a wide range of surveillance,
reconnaissance and homeland security applications.
