The console uses a separate back plane mounting all the hardware,
which can be cooled to an optimal operating conditions without effecting
the command post or shelter. At the front end, iUCS uses a modular
mount supporting multiple stacked flat displays and control table.
The stacked design considerably saves space enabling multiple operators
to comfortably work in a small shelter. The same display mount can
converted into a 'side by side' configuration where space is available.
The
user interface is also designed to best utilize the available workspace.
The majority of the display area shows a two or tri-dimensional
situational view of the mission, shown on a map or aerial photo,
depicting the platform's flight path, payload view and related information.
Additional relevant information is grouped in a 'drawer' located
at the side of the display, opened on demand by a mouse click. Since
the iUSC uses stacked displays, the upper screen can show full-screen
shots from the payload, or views from other UAVs, fed through other
systems such as the IAI Twister.
Toyon developed novel video tracking algorithms that can effectively
track multiple targets in video collected by low-cost small UAVs
using unstable imaging systems. The company also developed the wireless
communications algorithms and supporting hardware for these applications.
