SureLine® Software Suite is the backbone of Sunhillo Corporation’s surveillance gateway products (RICI, Longport, Brigantine SGP, Ventnor, and Margate II ADS-B) and is the same codebase that was historically referred to as “COTS”. It provides a wide range of functionality including conversion, translation and other transforms that allow for bridging dissimilar networks, analyzing data and connecting surveillance sources to air-traffic automation systems.
SureLine Software is designed with an expandable layered architecture. The base layer on all SureLine products is “SureLine Core”. The proven architecture of SureLine Core and associated secure GUI allows easy configuration of complex data flows to route data between different frame formats and media. For applications that require custom integration, Core contains the MPS API connections. The MPS API connection provides a wide range of WAN radar protocols to a user developed application through the MPS development software kit.
Features can be added to the Core to open additional functionality. Basic features are included in our SureLine Tier 1 and 2 licenses while more advanced features can be added individually.
The Tier mechanism extends SureLine Core to include a wealth of radar format conversions, with more than 400 possible conversion combinations, ASTERIX validation, filtering capabilities and visualizations. Tier 1 and 2, support opens the door for other advanced features that can be loaded or licensed individually such as radar trackers, fusers and advanced MPS API protocols.
Through the web-enabled graphical user interface (GUI), SureLine Core offers a seamless user interface experience across all associated platforms reducing training requirements.
SureLine is constantly evolving to meet the demands of the ever-rising security bar. The security features built in to SureLine are derived from the ISO/IEC 15408 Common Criteria (CC) Network Device Protection Profile (NDPP).
SureLine contains advanced features that allow it to further process surveillance data as it is transported. These include surveillance data format conversion, filtering, and frame headers. See the sections below for further details of these features along with any requirements for additional licenses.
Do you have surveillance data in one format but need it in another? SureLine has got you covered.
With the addition of one or more licenses, SureLine has the capability to convert from one radar format to another. Conversion requires a SureLine Tier1 license. Any additional licenses required will be identified in the lists below.
From the lists below, expand the input data format to see the output formats to which it can be converted. If the conversion you require is not listed then please contact our Sales or Support teams to see if it is available or can be created.
Do you have too much surveillance data? Let SureLine filter out the data you don’t need.
SureLine, with the addition of one or more licenses, has a multitude of filtering capabilities to remove the data you don’t need. Filtering requires a SureLine Tier1 license. Any additional licenses required will be identified in the lists below.
Do you have surveillance data with one type of frame header but need a different one? SureLine is hear to help.
