Model Flexnet - Command & Control System

Flexnet Commander is the command and control element of the Flexnet UGS system. It can be operated either on a Windows or Android based platform. For both OS platforms Exensor offer rugged laptops, tablets and PDAs with an integrated, proprietary Exensor radio module. Flexnet Commander displays all necessary sensor data in a user-friendly map-based interface giving the operator full control of Flexnet. Flexnet Commander combines a map-based overview, a mission log and an image viewer in a single application. Sensors fitted with an internal GPS receiver are automatically reported and displayed on the map in Flexnet Commander. This enables rapid deployment without need for manual positioning of sensors in the control software. The graphical representation provides a clear operational picture.

Electro-Optics

The Flexnet portfolio includes a wide range of electro-optical products, from small wireless cameras to large mast mounted EO systems. Combined with Flexnet Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS), the electro-optical products are triggered and controlled via the encrypted mesh network. The wireless cameras can transmit compressed pictures or video clips over the mesh network. This gives the operator visual confirmation of activities detected by sensors. Flexnet´s low data rate network enables the user to maintain a low electromagnetic signature and maximize operational endurance. Electro-optical equipment that requires a higher bandwidth, such as PTZ, chemical detection, and long-range high-resolution cameras can be operated via the Gateway V so that a large amount of data can be locally stored and transmitted.

System & Network

Flexnet communicates through a wireless, self-healing mesh network to ensure a reliable, continuous flow of data. Each device acts as a node in the network. In the Flexnet solution, each individual item –sensor, camera or gateway – acts as a network node and communicates with the other devices in the system to route data back to the Command and Control system. In addition to range extension, the self-healing network improves communication reliability and sensor deployment flexibility. The system can operate in “silent mode”, to become completely radio silent. In this mode sensors and cameras will store alarms and pictures until the operator requests data from the unit. All communications are encrypted using AES-256. The system is capable of operating in an Electronic Warfare environment.

Unattended Ground Sensors – Ugs

The Flexnet portfolio consists of a comprehensive toolbox of Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) for detection, classification and identification of human activities and vehicle movements. All sensors form an intelligent mesh network, acting as relays to enhance system performance and flexibility.
