The HPx-700 allows system integrators to upgrade analogue radars with advanced digital processing at the edge, including options such as high-performance target tracking. This removes the dependency on host PCs and enables more compact, reliable deployments.
The HPx-700 is designed for environments where reliability, low power consumption and compact size are essential. Its 64-bit ARM processor handles complex signal processing locally, converting raw analogue inputs directly into network-ready radar data. The fanless, low SWaP design ensures uninterrupted operation in constrained or remote locations.
Compared with the widely used HPx-346, the HPx-700 represents a step change in radar system architecture, providing edge-based radar processing with Cambridge Pixel’s proven software technology. It is available in three core options:
- Distribution: Includes efficient capture and network distribution of radar video
- Target detection: Adds plot extraction and generates detection lists from raw radar video
- Target Tracking: Advanced algorithms to establish and maintain confirmed target tracks, including correlation and filtering
Optional modules extend functionality further, providing multisensor fusion and high-reliability data recording, enabling system architects to implement sophisticated capabilities without redesigning core systems. Available in stand-alone, rack-mount, or board-only form factors, the HPx-700 includes built-in signal analysis and radar visualisation tools to verify performance during commissioning.
Designed with long-term operational support in mind, the HPx-700 uses components with a guaranteed future supply, giving engineers confidence in sustaining upgraded radar systems over many years. Full technical specifications will be published on the official launch.
