Rutter's Sigma S6 Radar Processor offers a cost-effective means to provide high-resolution imagery and detect and track more targets more reliably, and at longer ranges than ever before. As a result, operators are able to make faster and better decisions that reduce risks, incidents and daily operating costs. At the core of this enhanced radar capability is our proprietary radar processing and imaging technology. Sigma S6 is a Windows -based hardware and software product that processes and distributes radar video and track data. Using multi-layered processing, Sigma S6 not only strips out weather and other forms of clutter that can constrain conventional radar, it also enhances the radar's ability to track very small targets and multiple objects moving at differing speeds. Sigma S6's superior target detection and tracking capabilities make it ideal for many different applications.

CAPABILITIES & KEY FEATURES Accepts inputs from virtually any conventional radar Utilizes an API library to easily accommodate thirdparty applications Designed for operation over wired, wireless or microwave links Provides bit-depth reduction and no-loss compression algorithms for streamlining data transmissions over low bandwidth connections Provides remote access and enables radar images to be viewed and manipulated by operators and technicians at different locations Provides capability to connect multiple radars to multiple displays Provides ability to combine sectors from multiple radars into one display Designed, built and manufactured by Rutter provides the ability for the system to be modified for unique applications With a tracking capability of up to 1000 targets, the Sigma S6 Tracker dual-track mode can simultaneously detect and track very small, slow-speed targets and high-speed targets. This is achieved by optimizing plot extraction signal processing on separate channels, thereby providing uncompromised target detection and tracking. The Pulse-to-Pulse Processor offers superior noise reduction and tracking accuracy Its Scan Average Processor is optimized for enhanced detection of very small, slow-moving targets. It averages up to 64 consecutive radar scans for unsurpassed image definition. The processor also enables generation of a high-resolution Clutter Map used for removal of static targets for improved detection in all weather conditions Its Ordered Statistic CFAR Processor is a range-dependent clutter removal tool that removes an additional layer of weather clutter from the radar screen The STC control is a range and sensitivity-adjustable gain control for enhanced detection of near range targets in high clutter The optional Sigma S6 radar recording system provides for full dynamic range and full-resolution recording capability. The Sigma S6 digital recorder captures live radar feeds that may be used to record real incidents and isolate best practices for training and simulation exercises or post incident investigation analysis. The analog output module can regenerate full-resolution video data for playback on existing equipment. Optionally, synchronized audio can be recorded as well. As Sigma S6 Processor provides superior technology and flexibility in the most challenging situations, it is the logical choice for an increasing range of monitoring needs. Search and Rescue targets are seen on starboard side of the vessel in below right processed radar image but not seen in the below left unprocessed radar image.

SIGMA S6 RADAR IMAGE FROM A VTS RADAR Without Clutter Removal With Clutter Removal VESSEL OPERATIONS The Sigma S6 Radar Processor is ideal for demanding applications such as marine radar enhancement for object detection and avoidance, ice detection and navigation, anti-piracy applications and search and rescue. SHORE-BASED MARITIME OPERATIONS Rutter's Sigma S6 technology is making harbours, navigable waterways and coastal waters safer around the world. Exceptional clarity combined with superior small object detection, and the ability to track multiple vessels moving at a wide range of speeds, provide a superior context for: harbour security, coastal surveillance, interdiction, vessel traffic systems and/or shore-based search and rescue. AVIATION SECTOR In the aviation sector, Sigma S6 adds value in a number of ways. Its remarkable clarity supports more efficient management of ramp traffic and take-off line ups. Its ability to produce a high-resolution image from radar, and track slow and fast moving objects simultaneously, enables Sigma S6 to be used for airport perimeter security applications. Its small target detection capability makes it the choice for radar processing by bird aircraft, strike hazard and bird detection companies around the world. DEFENSE, SECURITY & OTHER LANDSIDE APPLICATIONS All those attributes that have made Sigma S6 successful in both marine and aviation applications are finding usage in security applications. These include border patrol and security for bridges, water supplies and other strategic infrastructure. Sigma S6 is also finding applications in plant, military base and industrial site security as well as traffic management.
