Mission-Critical Sensor Networking

Global military manufacturers rely on Pleora’s products, standards expertise, and systems knowledge to bypass development and integration complexities in mission-critical local situational awareness, remote weapon station, driver enhancement, and surveillance applications. Our sensor interfaces revolutionized the industrial automation market, and now we’re bringing new levels of awareness and intelligence to security and defense applications.


Network Processing for Local Situational Awareness


Pleora’s RuggedCONNECT Network Video Processing Unit (NVPU) platform is a modular, scalable, open approach to real-time sensor networking that helps manufacturers meet interoperability and scalability demands in SWaP-C sensitive applications while reducing cognitive burden and increasing mission-effectiveness for end-users.


Military imaging systems have traditionally used point-to-point interfaces to connect sensors, processors, and displays. This approach adds costs, single-point-of-failure risk, and challenges future scalability. More critically, it results in difficult to operate systems for an already overburdened crew.


RuggedCONNECT converts sensor data from multiple sources into a standardized feed that is transmitted over a low latency, multicast Gigabit Ethernet network. With all devices connected to a common infrastructure, data can be transmitted to any combination of mission computers and displays. Vehicle crew can view information on a single display, and know immediately if something has changed in their environment.

  • Transmit real-time sensor data across secure networks to processors and displays for advanced warning and effective mission planning
  • Highly configurable architecture enables NGVA, GVA, and VICTORY compliant vehicle platforms
  • Design SWaP-C optimized imaging platforms with full scalability to ensure future capabilities can be incorporated with minimal integration effort
  • Leverage powerful GPU resources of the NVIDIA Jetson TX2i to add image processing and graphics overlay decision-support capabilities
