Radar Video Processor

Radar Video Processor

Radar Video Processor (RVP) is Curtiss Wright Controls Defense Solutions' family of high-performance radar acquisition, tracking and distribution servers that are designed to address a broad range of radar processing requirements from network radar video servers to ruggedized naval tracking solutions. RVP servers are designed to work with Curtiss-Wright's extensive range of radar client solutions for video and track display. Alternatively they may be used in standalone configurations providing, for example, radar plot extraction and tracking data into an existing display or fusion system. RVP servers can be implemented as customized rugged systems for demanding environments, PC-based for benign environments or as VME or VPX card assemblies for embedded applications.  RVP is fully interoperable with Curtiss-Wright’s hardware and software-based radar scan conversion products.
