Display of video and metadata for operational awareness.
Support for operator gimbal controls via joystick/game controller. Configurable controller setup.
Manages hands off Lat Lon tracking with Geo Point Mode.
Maintains terrain-awareness of image center and provides target location data.
Plugin architecture for advanced video processing and target tracking using existing third party tools.
The Gimbal UI application is provided without license as a demo application with limited performance and/or
features and can be downloaded from the Downloads tab.
A single license is included in the TASE Developer’s Kit.
With purchase of a software license, User Name, and Key Number from Cloud Cap Technology, the Gimbal UI
software will operate as a full featured application.
Advanced feature plug-in performance may require separate license agreements and costs.
The Gimbal UI software is licensed on a per-seat basis. Use of the same User Name and Key number for
multiple seats, or distribution of the software license User Name and Key Number to any other individual or
organization is expressly prohibited without procuring a seat license User Name and Key Number(s) for the
new the new operator/owner seats.
Training Support: Reducing flight cost and risk is one of the
most valuable uses for the simulation by providing a low cost
training and practice environment for Gimbal Operators.
Product Demonstration: User’s can download the simulation
and evaluate the product, increasing the probability that the
system will meet their needs.
Testing and Development Support: When used in
conjunction with the TASE Gimbal or the TASE Gimbal
simulation and a user interface, the tool supports development
and testing of hardware and software modifications. It can also
be used to evaluate tracking performance with the optional
Gimbal UI Tracker Plug-In or plug-ins developed by other third
party developers.
Simulated Video: Video can be simulated at whatever level of
resolution a user can obtain for anywhere in the world from a
variety of standard image data formats. Map data can be
downloaded from WMS services.
Gimbal/Camera Pointing Control: Control of the
Gimbal is based on the tracking solution and keeps the
camera pointed at the target—greatly reducing the
workload of the operator.
Single Click Track Initialization: Users can use a
joystick to initiate a track on a target with a single click as
they are scanning the camera through a scene.
Alternately, a track can be initiated with a right click of the
mouse button when the mouse is placed over a target of
interest on the Gimbal UI display. An adjustable size box
is placed over the track.
Electronic Stabilization and Deinterlacing: Stabilization
of the image and removal of artifacts from interlaced
image frames provides a high quality display, significantly
enhancing the usefulness of the displayed video stream
to operators and analysts.
Target Localization: Target localization is provided
based on SRTM or DTED data and the TASE’s estimate
of its own position.
Optimum PC Requirements for Gimbal UI
Windows XP recommended (Vista optional)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40 GHz Processor
2GB RAM
Upgraded 3D Video Card (NVidia Quadro)
PC-Card Slot
For flight testing and development Cloud Cap Technology recommends the Dell E6400 laptop computer*. This is the commonly available solution that CCT uses in the lab and the field. The backlit display is optimal for night/day viewing. If you’re really hard on electronics, try the Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 with Windows XP.
* PCs without serial ports are supported using a USB to serial adaptor. CCT recommends the PA088U USB-Serial adapter from Targus.
