General Description and Specifications
roundAware™ is a user Reconfigurable Surveillance Sensor that detects,
tracks, classifies, and provides actionable information relevant to objects
within a 120° field of view up to five kilometers from the sensor. This
capability is implemented via the interoperation of four sub-systems:
The radar sub-system transmits S-band radio frequency signals, digitizes and processes
the received returns, identifies detections, clusters detections to identify tracks, and
associates tracks with feature data that can be used to classify the object. The radar can
be configured to use three different waveforms, based on installed site, that will be
explained in further detail in later sections. This manual should be used with radar sub-
system model number 001-10018266.
The server sub-system receives track data, receives and processes classification data,
hosts the GoogleMaps based user interface, and implements external sensor (e.g.
single/dual band PTZ camera, unattended ground sensor, etc) integration. Server
hosting of the user interface includes managing user-defined alert zones, per-zone
alerting criteria, and the per-zone violation log. Commodity grade desktop or laptop
computers may be used to execute the server sub-system software.
The client sub-system renders the GoogleMaps user interface for each unique browser
session. Users may maintain their own zoom and view settings, while sharing zone
definitions, alert criteria, and camera control with other users. The user interface is
browser agnostic, but works best with Mozilla Firefox. While the client software is
executed on each user’s machine within a web browser, it is provided upon
authentication and managed by the server sub-system software.
The optional interface sub-system provides a cellular data link, optional use network
interfaces, and independent radar power on/off control. The interface sub-system also
includes the cabling, encoder, and power supplies required to integrate external
cameras or other sensors. This sub-system is self-contained in an environmentally
sealed enclosure with the external switches and connectors as required by the
customer.
GroundAware™ enables a customer to use the system in an environment where the
interface is continually monitored by personnel on desktop or mobile devices, or in an
