SSR Engineering, Inc. was founded in 1999 by senior radar system and software engineers from Hughes Aircraft. While at Hughes Aircraft, the group developed surface search radars such as the AN/SPS-73 for the United States Coast Guard and United States Navy. With this knowledge, over twelve years’ experience in the development of high-performance radar systems implemented on COTS components, and a company culture focused on superior service, SSR Engineering stands out when pursuing advanced radar-processing solutions.
Why SSR?
Found in over 700 locations around the world, both on land and at sea, SSR’s wide product range fulfills a variety of needs. As a proven source for high-performance COTS products, our goal is to provide innovative, flexible solutions with free support and outstanding customer service.
Whether it is a single radar or multi-tier network utilizing tens of systems, SSR has the ability and experience to design a well-planned configuration that will best suit your needs, including identifying appropriate radars, cameras, and high-level system architecture. And when it comes to adding to an existing system or network, SSR’s modular product design allows for seamless integration and 3rd party interoperability.
Capabilities
 Port Security
The global economy relies on its ports. Its ports rely on you. Ninety percent of the world’s trade and two-thirds of its petroleum are transported by sea, making the security of ports and shore infrastructure crucial to the global economy. It’s a daunting task keeping watch over ports, ships, and docks, but by utilizing just one or more of SSR’s surveillance products, you can increase vigilance and decrease potential vulnerabilities.

Coastal Surveillance
Surveillance of an entire coastline is possible with minimal operator effort and at minimal cost when multiple remote radar installations are networked to a Command Center. At each remote radar site, a PCRP Radar Processor controls the radar transceiver and outputs the radar and AIS data via a TCP/IP network port. The data on the network can be augmented with live, high-resolution video using the Camera Manager and video encoders. The combined radar and video data is then transmitted to the Command Center using a land-line or wireless data link. A Composite Tracker at the Command Center allows tracks from multiple radars and multiple sensors to be merged. Targets move seamlessly as they proceed from one radar coverage zone to the next along a section of coastline. If desired, RDOP Displays at the Command Center can allow multiple independent operators to assess the overall radar picture, with each operator zooming into an area of interest. For even wider coverage including coast-to-coast—multiple Command Centers can be linked to Headquarters via a tiered network of secure TCP/IP links. |

SSR Engineering, Inc. provides cost-effective Radar Processing Solutions using advanced software and Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware. Our solutions range from stand-alone systems with a single radar transceiver to a multi-tier networked system with a large number of remote radars, PCRP radar processors, radar system trackers, video cameras, AIS, and other devices—all of which are interconnected via a standard TCP/IP network. As the preferred single-source provider in situational awareness, SSR provides state-of-the-art systems integration, systems engineering, and software development. Since its inception in February 1999 by senior radar system and software engineers from Hughes Aircraft, SSR was sub-contracted by Raytheon Systems Company for the continued development of the Surface Search Radar (AN/SPS-73) program.

Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) An effective and efficient vessel traffic service (VTS) can help to keep a port running at full speed. SSR’s advanced radar processing and tracking technology correlates AIS and radar targets into single tracks, helping operators to correctly identify various vessels. Other sensors can be added to improve correlation as well – including SONAR and RDF. If cameras are available, they can be automatically assigned to follow tracks in the area, while custom guard alarm zones can be created to warn of a vessel’s entry into a sensitive area. |
