Jul 31, 2015 -- ENVITIA is pleased to announce that Blighter Surveillance Systems, a British electronic-scanning radar and sensor solution provider, has chosen MapLink Pro to provide the map visualisation capability in BlighterView HMI 2.

BlighterView provides users with a simple interface to control and view one or more Blighter radars with additional controls for advanced users to optimise the radar settings and the HMI display characteristics for specific applications.  MapLink Pro enables users to embed high performance mapping components within their systems and is designed and optimised for tactical display environments.

Envitia MapLink Pro was chosen due to its superior performance, cross platform support and flexible licensing model.

“It is a pleasure to welcome Blighter into the growing community of MapLink Pro users” said Dr Matt Perrin, Sales and Marketing Director, Envitia Ltd. “The decision to use our technology demonstrates Blighter’s commitment to providing the highest performance and operational reliability to its users”.

Nick Booth, Sales and Marketing Director, Blighter Surveillance Systems, said: “Envitia’s best-in-class MapLink Pro toolkit is one of the key components in our BlighterView software application. The framework allows a variety of open-source, commercial and military 2D surface maps to be displayed and 3D data to be included, allowing customers to easily integrate coordinate based remote sensors, such as cameras, into their security solution.”

Envitia MapLink Pro is a suite of powerful SDKs (Software Development Toolkits) that enables developers to quickly build and deploy high performance mapping and terrain visualisation systems.  It is the “visualisation toolkit of choice” for dynamic management and display of geospatial information and live track data.
