- Robust Security and Reliability: MFAR’s advanced firewall and network management features ensure secure communication and data integrity in high-stakes operational environments.
The partnership between FlySight and H-Tech Airborne Solutions is driven by a shared commitment to innovation, reliability, and excellence in avionics technology. The integration of OPENSIGHT with MFAR embodies a new era in airborne mission computing, empowering system integrators and end-users to achieve superior mission performance and strategic advantage in an increasingly complex operational landscape.
The H-Router MFAR by H-Tech Airborne Solutions is a high-performance router and computing platform featuring two integrated systems: a network and routing computer for seamless aircraft integration and a powerful open platform for third-party software.
While the routing system ensures compatibility and interoperability through its various interfaces, the powerful open platform is designed for hosting advanced mission systems like OPENSIGHT. This combination provides a versatile solution and offers the basis for OPENSIGHT to support missions through their innovative application.
FlySight’s OPENSIGHT Mission Console is specifically designed to support payload operators in airborne scenarios, with the aim to conduct the mission more smoothly and efficiently.
An Augmented Reality engine, capable of handling multiple high-resolution video flows, improves the geospatial situational awareness of the operator by the superposition of multiple synthetic information layers.
No need to switch to the moving map anymore: all the information is displayed directly over the video for a better mission effectiveness.
Taking integration to the next level, the OPENSIGHT Mission Console is exceptionally agile and quick to integrate into any mission system. This is made possible through the Open Code provided to OPENSIGHT Software Development Kit users.
The Open Code, a unique template crafted by FlySight developers, optimizes the implementation of OPENSIGHT-Mission Console. It not only enhances usability but also unlocks the full potential of OPENSIGHT for the entire user community. Users can effortlessly build upon the established solution, customizing, updating, and enhancing capabilities with ease and speed.
Christopher Hofheinz, Head of Hardware Engineering, H-Tech Group, commented, “We are excited about the collaboration between Flysight and H-Tech Airborne Solutions, combining our high-performance computing platform, with their advanced mission software to enhance airborne operations.
“MFAR’s powerful processing capabilities provide the ideal foundation for OPENSIGHT’s innovative applications, enabling superior situational awareness and mission efficiency. This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering future-ready solutions that enhance Safety, Visibility, Reliability and Connectivity in the most demanding environments.”
