Pleora’s RuggedCONNECT Smart Video Switcher Takes Top Honors in 2020 Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards 

Pleora Technologies, a leading supplier of video interfaces and sensor networking for real-time imaging applications, announced today that its RuggedCONNECT Smart Video Switcher took top honors in the 2020 Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards. An esteemed and experienced panel of judges from the aerospace and defense community recognized Pleora as a Platinum honoree.

Global manufacturers are designing Pleora’s GVA, NGVA and VICTORY-ready RuggedCONNECT Smart Video Switcher into local situational awareness (LSA), command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), remote controlled weapon stations (RCWS), driver vision enhancement (DVE), and panoramic surveillance applications.

“We’re seeing growing demand for our RuggedCONNECT Smart Video Switcher and plug-in machine learning AI solutions as military system integrators seek ways to cost-effectively integrate advanced capabilities that help reduce cognitive burden and heighten battlefield intelligence,” said John Butler, VP of Sales & Marketing, Pleora Technologies. “This industry recognition highlights the performance, design, and cost benefits that Pleora brings to the military imaging market.”

Pleora’s RuggedCONNECT is a highly integrated standalone device that acquires, processes, and displays real-time video sensor data for vehicle-based LSA and DVE applications. With all sensors, cameras, and devices connected to a common infrastructure, vehicle crew can view information they need on a single display and know immediately if something has changed in their environment – ultimately increasing intelligence, awareness, and safety, while reducing cognitive burden.  

Combining the high-performance networking of RuggedCONNECT with the powerful GPU resources of the NVIDIA Jetson TX2i, designers can easily add decision-support capabilities to further increase mission effectiveness.  Advanced situational awareness software, available as solution plug-ins for RuggedCONNECT, includes automatic threat detection, region of interest, and rollover warning capabilities to improve battlefield intelligence.

“On behalf of the Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards, I would like to congratulate Pleora Technologies on their Platinum-level honoree status,” said Military & Aerospace Electronics Editor in Chief John Keller. “This competitive program allows Military & Aerospace Electronics to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products impacting the aerospace and defense community this year.”
