ARRAY SYSTEMS COMPUTING INC - Array is a software and system integration company located in Toronto, Canada. We have been developing computationally intensive, real-time digital signal processing (DSP) systems, using multiple parallel processors for over 20 years. A recent innovation offering significant performance and cost advantages is our Scalable Generic Signal Processor (GSP). The GSP is unique in that it will automatically distribute data across the number of processors present for optimal parallel processing. The number of processors can be increased or decreased to provide desired performance without changing the software application. Our exceptional knowledge of DSP, image processing and systems integration allows us to develop innovative, high-quality software solutions in diverse application areas including: sonar, radar, simulation and training, plus remote sensing, 3D modeling plus x-ray. Our capabilities in DSP make us an ideal partner for major processing, storage and software development projects. ARRAY'S SCALABLE GENERIC SIGNAL PROCESSOR (GSP)Array's Scalable GSP is a revolutionary Beowulf cluster-based parallel processor that can be used in a variety of computationally intensive applications such as:
RADAR SOLUTIONS FOR AIR FORCE TECHNOLOGYOur expertise and knowledge of SAR has made us an international leader in producing and deploying maritime patrol radar surveillance systems. Array is a Canadian leader in the design, development and deployment of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) for advanced radar-related processing systems. Our areas of expertise include developing algorithms, producing complex real-time parallel processing systems and performing system integration. We design and deliver high-resolution SAR imaging systems for the detection and surveillance of distant ships and land based targets. Our airborne SAR technology operates in as many as four different modes:
We first became involved with airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) surveillance systems in the early 1980s when the Defence Research Establishment Ottawa (DREO) contracted us to implement SAR algorithms and technology for their research program. Since that initial contract, other projects have included developing a Spotlight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SSAR), Advanced Development Model (ADM) and a digital scan converter for maritime patrol aircraft. Additionally, we developed a SAR image processing software for the British Nimrod MRA2 upgrade program. We delivered the Image Processing Software for the Searchwater 2000MR radar to Thales Defence Ltd. in 2000. In April 2002, Array was contracted by the Department of National Defence (DND) to provide upgrades to the General Purpose Synthetic Aperture Radar (GPISAR) software tool. ARRAY'S SAR PRODUCTS AND SERVICESArray's SAR products and services include: Basic Radar Trainer (BRT), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) simulation tools for technology development, Tri-mode Synthetic Aperture Radar- real-time and High-Resolution Airborne Image Processing System. Array was contracted in April 2002 by the Department of National Defence (DND) to provide upgrades to the General Purpose Synthetic Aperture Radar (GPISAR) software tool currently in use by the Defence Research and Development (DRDC) Ottawa. COTS SIMULATION AND TRAINING SYSTEMS FOR RADAR APPLICATIONSArray has experience designing, developing and deploying high fidelity, COTS-based simulation systems. We tailor training systems to suit any need and design the systems in a multi-processor environment for optimal performance. Array specializes in developing training systems for radar applications. Our training systems give operators the opportunity to interpret complex SAR imagery quickly and accurately without actually stepping onto a plane. The operators can sharpen their skills and develop situational awareness using a database of images. This effective training method allows operators to train in a safe, virtual environment and gives the operator the skills he/she would otherwise be forced to learn in the air during expensive missions. REMOTE SENSING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
X-RAY TECHNOLOGYX-ARRAY is Array's image analysis and object recognition software to detect and annunciate threats in airline passenger carry-on baggage. Array designed the X-Array Vision System to analyse the X-ray images of passengers' carry-on baggage in International Airports. Array's automated baggage screening software uses image-processing techniques commonly used in computer vision systems. The software can be integrated with standard baggage screening systems.
