The ADEPT5000 is a new generation multitarget video tracker that greatly extends
tracking performance in a size weight
and power optimized package. Over two
decades of video tracking experience has
been distilled to make it the ideal choice for
both end-user and system integrator.
New multiple target track software with
concurrent multi-target detection, cueing and
tracking combine to offer outstanding performance in challenging tactical scenarios.
The increased bandwidth of high definition video sensors introduces a major
processing overhead for traditional
systems. The dedicated video architecture
of the ADEPT5000 ensures that higher pixel
densities, frame rates and multiple targets
can be processed with minimal latency
making it the perfect choice for closed-loop
control applications. A wide range of high
bandwidth digital video interfaces are available including full high definition video.
The ADEPT5000 has a simplified structured
approach and automatic configuration
functions to reduce integration time and
complexity with a consequential cost
saving. A comprehensive range of physical
form factors are available with a common
functional core, allowing a single integration process to be used for multiple
system designs.
Careful consideration has been given to
automating operation. The enhanced user
interface, automated functions and advanced
high resolution full color symbology combine
to significantly reduce operator workload,
monitoring and tracking targets reliably with
minimal operator interaction.

Performance
The ADEPT5000 automatic video tracker has been optimized to
perform real-time target detection and tracking across the full
range of military electro-optical system applications. Whether
integrated in air-to-ground, ground-to-ground, ground-to-air or
naval electro-optical systems, the new improved algorithms at the
heart of the ADEPT5000 provide effective detection and tracking
against the full spectrum of targets.
Discriminating targets at longer ranges is aided by a number of
factors that include improved optics, precision platform dynamics
and higher resolution sensors. The ADEPT5000 natively supports
high definition video, whether infrared or visible spectrum, arriving
via a selection of the latest digital interfaces.
The instant these signals have been acquired, advanced preprocessors discriminate both stationary and moving targets from
heavy clutter, mist, dust and other atmospheric challenges. The
resulting signals are passed to sophisticated algorithms for track
path analysis, optimized for particular operational scenarios.
High performance discrimination of targets
from ground clutter
The new multi-target track manager is designed to be resilient
where targets utilize ground features to obscure the line of sight
or deploy decoys to seduce tracking systems. It distinguishes situations where numerous targets undertake coordinated evasive
maneuvers, handling crossing and temporarily obscured targets. It
provides the ability for the operator to determine target priority.
The ADEPT5000’s high performance video capabilities are not
limited to analysis of sensor signals. An additional co-processor
enables advanced graphical overlays. This uses an open interface, making it easy to master graphics and menus on a PC,
using off-the-shelf tools. Powerful color graphics rendering and
compositing hardware supports flexible and clear outputs.
