Our technologies

Rheinmetall Electronics UK’s Mission Ready Technology is based upon our world-leading video and signal processing algorithms. When implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or System on Chip (SOC) devices, these provide low-latency and high-performance processing right at the sensor, delivering a critical advantage for our customers.

As well as providing turn-key products, our technologies are available as components, to support developers and integrators who are looking to advance their offering by embedding Rheinmetall Electronics UK capability within their wider products.

Our team

Rheinmetall Electronics UK’s headquarters are located on the Isle of Wight, on the South Coast of the United Kingdom, within two hours of most London airports. Rheinmetall Electronics UK also have a UK mainland office in Southampton and representation in the U.S., through our partner organisation American Rheinmetall Systems.

To deliver world-class solutions, Rheinmetall Electronics UK need a world-class team. The multi-disciplined engineering team covers modelling, systems design, algorithm development, software and hardware development, mechanical and RF design, as well as PCB and product design.

TRAILBLAZER vehicle vision sensor

TRAILBLAZER improves driver and crew effectiveness by extending the view beyond the daylight spectrum, even in adverse weather, obscured or low-light conditions. Featuring very low-latency front and rear video camera units, it aids the driver in terrain negotiation, obstacle avoidance and route selection. Independent wide-angle situational awareness channel outputs give crew and commander a powerful surveillance and threat detection capability. TRAILBLAZER is GVA compliant and has both digital and analogue variants making it easy to integrate on a wide range of platforms.

TRAILBLAZER is available in a range of variants, offering users a modular system which can be built from a simple one camera system through to full situational awareness, complete with mechanical cleaning module.
