Bond chooses Britannia 2000 CAMC for NPAS EC135 platforms
Britannia 2000 specialises in the design, development and manufacture of ISTAR and Communications systems.
The CAMC, developed by Britannia 2000, is part of the NPAS Mission system upgrade selected by Bond Helicopters Europe, for installation. The CAMC is designed for civil and military applications on rotary and fixed-wing platforms, providing a variety of communication interfaces and accepting a wide variety of video formats, including full HD. It has been designed to run CarteNav AIMS software, including Moving Target Indication (MTI), at maximum efficiency.
The CAMC also accepts external inputs from sensors, such as the EO/IR turret, to allow geo-referencing of data and to support augmented reality capability within the AIMS software.
The CAMC also provides multiple monitor outputs for up to three touch screen displays. This feature helps to reduce operator workload and improve mission efficiency by task sharing between observers and operators. Pilots, for example, can view mapping displays whilst operators control the EO/IR turret and observers collate information on their screens.
Ralph Jones, Managing Director of Britannia 2000, commented: “Britannia is justifiably proud to be chosen to support NPAS in their project to provide the UK Police Service with the latest in airborne technology. The inclusion of the CAMC provides a clean cabin environment, significantly reducing the number of LRUs and cabling normally associated with complex mission systems, whilst at the same time, reducing the overall system integration workload.”
