Surveillance Gateway Product Lines
Longport - Surveillance Data Distribution Platform
Sunhillo's Longport Platform is a robust, versatile and modular system designed for surveillance sensor data distribution and message conversions. It provides sensor interfacing capabilities for the FAA STARS, ASR11 as well as the military DASR program. The Longport is scalable, providing the capability to provision modules and services as mission requirements dictate. The Longport Platform is also fully compatible with the STARS SIU.
Surveillance Gateway Processor - SGP
Our SGP is an integral member of the Surveillance Gateway family. It manages high-capacity data pipes up to gigabit speeds providing data formatting, filtering and protocol conversion of site specific packetized sensor information from and to a LAN. This versatile device provides interfacing directly to a router or switch and handles TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols. The SGP is also the engine that powers our scalable and modular LAN-to-LAN, LAN-to-serial solution when married with our Surveillance Gateway Unit (SGU).
Intelligent Communications Adapter - ICA64
The Sunhillo Intelligent Communications Adapter (ICA) is a fully integrated communciations co-processor designed to support 8 synchronous serial ports while occupying a single Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus slot. It provides multiple high-speed serial connections from a single PCI. It supports a wide array of physical/electrical interfaces. Radar protocol drivers and API for custom programming are also available. It is enhanced to support 64-bit PCU v2.2 at 66Mhz while maintaining 32-bit/33Mhz backward compatibility. No DIP switches as the clock settings are software-based. ICA is a commerical off-the-shelf product utilizing non-proprietary PCI bus technology. It has a 3.3v and 5v universal PCI connector.
Simulation and Analysis
Surveillance Generator & Analysis Tool - SGAT Sunhillo's Surveillance Generation and Analysis Tool (SGAT) Track Generator supports legacy radar data, ADS-B, and correlated (ADS-B/radar) target information with the ability to simulate high data loads, alerts, and excessive target data-excessive in the range of thousands to thoroughly stress Air Traffic Systems during high service volume loads. This powerful tool provides realistic simulation, as well as track generation to "autogenerate" surveillance tracks based on userspecified site, route, and target information and is capable of saving this information for scenario creation and future playback. The built-in Generator software provides message control parameters for a variety of common surveillance data formats, such as: En Route Communications Gateway Protocol (ECGP), ASTERIX Categories 34/48, 23/33, 62/65, Eurocontrol 1/2, ASR-11 1/2; Airport Surveillance Radar Model 9 (ASR-9); Air Route Surveillance Radar, Model 3 and Model 4 (ARSR-3 and ARSR- 4); Common Digitizer, Mode 1 and Mode 2 (CD-1 and CD-2); Minimally Attended Radar (MAR) / FPS-11; and other protocols and formats.
